Award: 1st Place – $2,000 and Blog Publication
Deadline: December 31, 2016
Clear, effective writing is the cornerstone of an exceptional lawyer, and a vital area of education for aspiring attorneys. While traditional forms of legal writing like case briefs and contracts endure, the internet has given legal professionals a new medium of communication that demands mastery as well. Blog posts are a new way for attorneys to educate and persuade, and to participate in a broader legal discourse with their peers. In recognition of the importance of online legal writing, The Expert Institute is offering a $2,000 scholarship for the best legal blog post written by a law student on the topic of expert witnesses. To be considered for the scholarship, you must submit a 1,000 to 2,5000 word blog-style article on the use of expert witnesses in litigation.
Eligibility and Topic: J.D. Students – Any topic in litigation involving expert witnesses.
