Are you a law student or LLM candidate currently attending an ABA-accredited law school? Do you have an interest in aviation and space law? If so, this writing competition is for you!

Submit a 20-page paper addressing a recent development in any area of aviation or space law or discuss an area of aviation or space law where a controversy or disagreement exist. Entrants are encouraged to write on subjects of national interest, rather than state-specific issues.

The goal of the competition is to encourage law students to become involved in the Aviation and Space Law Committee (the “Committee”) and the Tort Trial & Insurance Practice Section of the American Bar Association. It is also intended to attract students to the tort, trial, insurance, and aviation and space practice fields, and to encourage scholarship in these fields.
