Student Brief Writing Competition

Here's a writing opportunity for your students. Linda H. Edwards at Mercer sends out this notice:

It’s time to start thinking about inviting your students to compete for the Milani Award.  As you know, Mercer and the ABA host an annual writing competition in honor of Mercer’s former legal writing professor, Adam Milani.  It is one of the few student competitions for briefs – not academic papers.   Prizes can be as high as $1,000.

Here are this year’s topics: disability law; the Civil Rights Act of 1964; Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972;  ADEA; FMLA; a state statute or municipal ordinance prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.

The deadline is June 1, and further information is on Mercer's website.
