Legal Writing Scholarship Opportunity

Mercer University School of Law and the American Bar Association Commission on Disability Right co-host an annual brief writing competition in honor of Mercer’s former legal writing professor, Adam Milani.

The purposes of the competition are to promote greater interest in and understanding of the field of disability law and to encourage excellent legal writing skills in law students. The deadline is June 14, 2024 (the website will be updated soon with the correct date).

Prizes range between $100 and $500, depending on whether multiple awards are given.

Briefs can be on any of the following topics:
• Disability law;
• The Civil Rights Act of 1964;
• Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972;
• Age Discrimination in Employment Act;
• Family and Medical Leave Act;
• A state statute or municipal ordinance prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.

Further information is posted on the Mercer website (the date in this email is correct, it has not yet been changed on the website) at Milani Writing Competition – School of Law (mercer.edu)
