The Federal Circuit Bar Association is pleased to announce the George Hutchinson Writing Competition, named in honor of the first Chief Clerk of the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Entries to the contest may address any topic that lies within the procedure, substance, or scope of the jurisdiction of the Court. The competition is open to all law students enrolled in ABA-accredited law schools. Students are permitted and encouraged to base their entries on papers that they prepared for law school courses and seminars during the current school year. Because the competition is open for the entire school year, papers prepared during the most recent Fall or Spring semester can be eligible. All papers shall be prepared during the current school year. Papers shall be the sole work product of the student. Normal comment and guidance by law school faculty is permitted. Papers must deal with a topic that lies within the substance, procedure, or scope of the specialized jurisdiction of the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The writing competition is judged by selected members of the FCBA. The papers will be judged generally on their substance, clarity, timeliness, and quality of argument, although details of form will not be ignored. Papers are judged anonymously. The entrant's name and school should not appear on the uploaded document or file name. Rather, contact information for the entrant will be requested on the submission form itself.
