The Indian Law Resource Center announces prizes for innovative
law student writing on American Indian Law. The competition is
dedicated to the memory of Petra Shattuck, whose friends have helped
make the prize awards possible. Professor Shattuck, a legal
scholar and strong advocate for Indian rights, was particularly
interested in exposing and remedying injustice that Native Americans
suffer under the law.
Only law students are eligible to participate.
The award for first prize will be $2,000. The second and
third prize awards will be $1,000 and $750, respectively. Prizes
will be awarded on the basis of originality of scholarship,
innovation and creativity in analysis of some aspect of Indian law.
The articles and commentaries eligible for consideration include
those prepared during the 1992-93 academic year, whether or not
published.
Submissions should be postmarked by May 1, 1993 and sent
to the address below. Please include your mailing address for the
summer of 1993. Manuscripts should be double-spaced using a
letter-quality type-face. No special format is required. The
prize winners will be selected by a committee of scholars named
by the Indian Law Resource Center. Manuscripts will not be returned.
