Read MoreIMPORTANT: 2013 Akron Law Review Write-On Competition
Students wishing to compete in the Law Review’s Write-On Competition,
The 2013 Write-On Competition will begin Friday, 5/17/13, at 8 AM. Instructions for the Write-On Competition and a hypothetical will be available for you to download at that time on TWEN. You will have until Friday, 5/31/13, at 12 AM to submit your response. Late submissions will not be graded or considered for a position on the Law Review.
To participate in the Write-On Competition, you will need to have extended your Westlaw password for the summer session in order to have TWEN access. To access the Write-On Competition course, you will need to add a course to your TWEN page the same way in which you do for your regular or ASP classes. This course is not yet activated for registration but will be available for you to join by the time the Write-On begins at 8 AM. If you have not extended your Westlaw password for the summer and if doing so is no longer possible, please email me at jrc130@zips.uakron.edu and I can coordinate a way to email the instructions and the hypothetical to you on the day the Write-On Competition begins.
Please remember that this Write-On Competition is open to all law students who have completed their first year program as defined by the administration of the School of Law.
Students wishing to join the Akron Law Review who rank in the top fifteen (15) percent of their class after completing the first-year program will be automatically invited to join the law review. As such, those students ranking in the top fifteen percent of their class are not required to compete in the write-on competition to receive an invitation. However, since class rankings will not be released at the time of the write-on competition, we highly encourage all students who have previously ranked in the top fifteen percent of their class to still participate in the write-on competition since their class rank could drop after spring semester grades.
Note Regarding Part Time Students Completing Their First-Year Program this Summer: There will be a second write-on competition in August for those part-time students who complete their first-year program during the summer who are not yet eligible to compete in the first competition. More information regarding this competition will be sent out in August.
If you have any questions regarding the Write-On Competition, please email me at jrc130@zips.uakron.edu.
Thank you,
Julianna Clark
Executive Editor of Student Writing, 2013-14 Akron Law Review
