Asian Law Journal is sponsoring a student writing competition to encourage legal scholarship addressing the legal issues affecting Asian Pacific Americans. Entrants must be law students currently enrolled at an accredited law school or recent law school graduates. The author of the winning entry will receive a cash award, and have his or her paper published in this year’s issue of Asian Law Journal.
Submissions must be original, unpublished works exploring legal issues that impact the Asian Pacific American community. We welcome focused analyses of individual Asian Pacific American ethnic groups, as well as discussions of domestic or international issues affecting Asian Pacific Americans in general. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: Asian Pacific American political empowerment, the use of “cultural defenses” in criminal law, racial profiling, or Asian Pacific Americans and affirmative action. However, submissions focusing on any legal issue affecting Asian Americans will be considered.
Submissions must be at least twenty-five typed pages, double-spaced, 12 point font, with one inch margins. Submissions should include a cover letter with the author’s name, current address, current telephone number, and current e-mail address. In addition, authors should send a Microsoft Word version of the manuscript via e-mail to saraa@boalthall.berkeley.edu. Citations must be at the bottom of the page and conform to A Uniform System of Citation.
Entries will be judged on relevance, timeliness, thoroughness of research, quality of legal analysis, and clarity of expression. The decision of the judges will be final and Asian Law Journal reserves the right not to choose a winner in the event that no entries meet our publishing criteria. All submissions will be considered for publication and Asian Law Journal reserves the exclusive publication rights to all submissions.
Submission Deadline: Postmarked by Friday, September 23, 2005
