The International Section of the New York State Bar Association is pleased to announce the annual Albert S. Pergam International Law Writing Competition! The deadline for submission is 4:00 p.m. EST on Friday, November 6, 2020.

The International Section is comprised of approximately 1800 members of the New York State Bar Association (both American and foreign lawyers) who practice, or have an interest in, public and private international law. The writing competition, which began in 1988, fosters legal scholarship among law students in the field of international law. The competition is intended to encourage students of law to write on areas of public or private international law. It is the International Section’s belief that by providing a forum for students to disseminate their ideas and articles, the professional and academic communities are enriched. Furthermore, the competition presents an opportunity for students to submit law review quality articles to the Section for possible publication in one of its publications (i.e., New York International Law Review).

Law Students (including J.D., LL.M., Ph.D. and S.J.D. candidates) are cordially invited to submit to the International Section an article concerning any area of public or private international law or practice. Faculty members of any college or university are ineligible to participate. All submissions will be reviewed by a committee of attorneys practicing international law, and a winner will be chosen based on a variety of factors, including significance and timeliness of the subject matter, thoroughness of research and analysis, clarity of writing style, as well as the importance and originality of the topic to the understanding of private/public international law or comparative law.

The winner will receive:

1) $2,000 USD; and

2) Publication of the article (subject to editorial approval) in the New York International Law Review.

The rules are set forth in our website: https://nysba.org/awards-competitions/international-section-albert-s-pergam-international-law-writing-competition-award/

Good luck. We look forward to receiving your submission!
