JUSTIS INTERNATIONAL LAW & TECHNOLOGY WRITING COMPETITION [DEADLINE: DEC. 1, 2018]

Effective and persuasive writing is an important skill for students as they develop and get ready to enter the workplace.

Justis is therefore pleased to host this competition for a second year and offers students an opportunity to stand out as someone highly capable of producing excellent content.
