Hmmm....no, but we're working on it.
Actually, this is the title of a great opportunity: the Gender Fairness Implementation Committee of the Minnesota Supreme Court is hosting a student writing contest.
The topic is Gender Fairness. Students are asked to write a paper, article or essay on one of the following four categories: Domestic Violence, Family Law, Civil and Criminal Law, and Court Room Environment.
The deadline for submissions is October 15, 2009. The technical details can be found here.
The award is significant: The judges of the contest will select one paper from each topic to be honored at an October 27, 2009 conference to commemorate the 20th Anniversary of the Report of the Minnesota Supreme Court Task Force for Gender Fairness in the Courts.
Then, in addition, each of the following publications will publish the winning paper from a topic in one of their spring 2010 issues: Hamline Journal of Public Law & Policy (Domestic Violence), St. Thomas Law Review (Civil and Criminal Law), William Mitchell Law Review (Courtroom Environment), Journal of Law & Inequality (Family Law).
