New LEL/DR Writing Competition

Thanks to Rafael Gely for sending us word of this new competition:

The Center for the Study of Dispute Resolution at the University of Missouri School of Law and the National Academy of Arbitrators (NAA) are pleased to announce an annual writing competition for best articles relating to labor and employment dispute resolution that will be published in the Law School’s Journal of Dispute Resolution (JDR). With a generous grant from the NAA Research and Education Foundation, this initiative encourages research and scholarship in the labor and employment field. Beginning in the Fall 2021, the annual competition will award a $3,000 prize for the best published article by an author in academia or professional practice and a $1,000 award for the best published comment by a current law student. A selection committee comprised of NAA and Missouri Law faculty members will select the winning articles and announce its decision by the end of the calendar year.

Articles for this competition should be submitted by email to: [email protected], with “Labor/Employment DR” in the subject line. The deadline for submissions for the 2021 awards is August 15, 2021.

For more information, please contact: Professor Ilhyung Lee, Director, Center for the Study of Dispute Resolution, [email protected]; or Katelyn Peters, Editor-in-Chief, JDR, [email protected].
