Do you have your finger on the pulse of new and emerging issues in law and technology? If so, we want to hear from you!

Along with LexisNexis, Westlaw and FairWinds Partners LLC, we are proud to announce the fourth Richmond Journal of Law & Technology Biennial Writing Competition. The topic for this year’s writing competition is: "The Endless Frontier: Emerging Issues in Law and Technology”. This national competition is open to all full-time law students and will provide a forum for exploring cutting-edge issues applicable to areas in which technology and the law intersect. Students may write on any law and technology topic, including, but not limited to, biotechnology, intellectual property, patent and trademark, and the Internet.

The grand prize winner will receive a $1,200 cash award and will be published in a 2008 issue of JOLT. The second place winner will receive a $600 cash award and 2,000 WestlawRewards points. The third place winner will receive a $100 cash award and 2500 LexisNexis points. Additionally, every entrant will receive 150 LexisNexis points!

The Richmond Journal of Law and Technology is the first law review in the world to be published exclusively online. First published on April 10, 1995, the Journal focuses on the impact that computer-related and other emerging technologies have on the law. The Journal is published entirely by students of the University of Richmond School of Law. Publishing online is tremendously beneficial in allowing The Journal to reach a much wider audience than would have been possible using the traditional print medium.
