I blogged this competition on January 5, but received a flyer from the sponsors yesterday that has been distributed to the law school deans. I excerpt relevant information below:
The American Bar Association Section of Family Law is pleased to present its Howard C. Schwab Memorial Essay Contest. This contest is held annually to encourage interest in the field of family law. Not only does the contest encourage innovative thought in family law, but it also provides an opportunity for recognition and publication in the scholarly journal Family Law Quarterly.
