WRITING COMPETITION update:


JUSTIS – THE FIRST LAW & TECHNOLOGY INTERNATIONAL WRITING COMPETITION [DEADLINE: DEC. 1, 2017]

Effective, persuasive writing is an important skill for students to develop before entering the workplace. While the traditional essay format is one established way to exercise this skill, the Internet has allowed for new methods of attracting an audience through engaging writing, which demands its own set of skills. Today businesses and professionals use blog articles to inform, educate and influence, attract new customers, as well as engaging in a broader conversation within their industry.

Justis is therefore pleased to announce the first ever Law & Technology International Writing Competition, offering you an opportunity to stand out as someone highly capable of producing excellent content.

Topic: Blog post written on the following topics: Future of legal technology and the work of law firms, how the law copes with technological innovation, and the mass impact of technology for providing new and easy access to legal information.

Awards: £2,000

Submission guidelines: 1,000 words
