illinois bar journal2020 Lincoln Award Legal Writing Contest
Dear YLD Member:
You're out in the trenches ... you know the hot topics in your field-the new statutes, the important new cases, the legal developments that you and your colleagues grapple with in the real world of lawyering. We invite you to share your hard-won knowledge and maybe win $2,000 in prize money by entering the Annual Lincoln Award Legal Writing Contest. We're looking for useful, practical articles on topics important to practicing lawyers. The highest scores will go to manuscripts that Illinois lawyers can use in their practices and that are written in a no-nonsense, plain-English style..... |
