On behalf of the entire Editorial Board and Staff of the Richmond Journal of Law & Technology, it is our pleasure to announce that submissions for the Student Law and Technology Writing Competition with the Rick Klau Prize are now being accepted.
The Richmond Journal of Law & Technology, the first law review in the world to be published exclusively online, holds a biennial national writing competition to highlight important and emerging legal issues in the field of law and technology. From receipt of this letter until midnight on Friday, March 31, 2017, students from all law schools in the United States have the opportunity to submit articles, case notes, essays, and commentary to the Journal for possible publication and cash prizes! The submissions must focus on topics at the intersection of technology and the law and must be directed to the Journal via e-mail to jolt@richmond.edu. Each submission must include the completed entry form and must conform to the submission guidelines. Both the entry form and the submission guidelines have been attached to this e-mail and will also be available on the Journal‘s website at http://jolt.richmond.edu.
