Fourth Annual Daniel T. Murphy Student Writing Competition 2011-12
“Open for Business?: A Global Survey of Economic Recovery Efforts”
The Daniel T. Murphy Student Writing Competition is open to all law students attending any ABA-accredited law school, and it is intended to foster knowledge and scholarly work by students in the areas of global law and business.
This year’s topic addresses the current state of economic recovery around the globe. It focuses on how various factors – cultural, political, and/or legal – have impacted economic recovery efforts domestically and internationally. Egypt’s economic health, for example, has been affected by the “Arab Spring,” and more specifically, revolution. In contrast, Japan must deal with an aging population and, more immediately, a devastating tsunami. How do these events influence legal solutions to economy recovery?
Indeed, in the wake of the financial crisis, sweeping changes to economic policy have been proposed, and some have begun. This topic encourages students to investigate these efforts, their context, and their impact. Entries focused more generally on areas of global law and business will be considered, but preference will be given to those that address the topic substantively.
This year’s prizes are as follows:
First Place: $300 cash award and publication in the Richmond Journal of Global Law and Business’s Annual Survey
Second Place: $150 cash award
Third Place: $75 cash award
