I mentioned the new ADR writing competition sponsored by the ADR Committee of the ABA’s Tort Trial & Insurance Practice Section in a post back in February. The competition is open to all law students who are members of the ABA and attending an ABA accredited law school. Here’s the other pertinent info:

Topic: Recent Developments in Alternative Dispute
Resolution. Entrants are encouraged to write on subjects of national interest, not state specific issues.
Prize: $500 to the winner, plus up to $500 toward
attendance at an ABA TIPS meeting. The winning essay will be published in the ADR newsletter and will also be submitted for consideration for publication to the TIPS Law Journal Board.
