2009 ALPSA National Essay Competition

The 2009 ALPSA National Essay Competition is your chance to polish an old assignment into a paper that showcases your ability to discuss the complexities of legal philosophy shrouding a historical or controversial topic of your choosing.

If shortlisted your essay will be judged by an eminent and diverse panel consisting of the Honourable Justice PA Keane (Queensland Court of Appeal), Professor Wojciech Sadurski (Sydney Law School) and Professor Emeritus Wilfrid Prest (University of Adelaide Law School).

Instead of just gathering dust, your assignment could win 1st place and $300 of the cash prize money generously provided by the University of Queensland, whilst 2nd will receive $150 and 3rd $50.

Entries are open to undergraduates from around Australia, whether you are studying law, philosophy or international relations, to submit unpublished essays between 2000 and 8000 words long.

Please submit your paper by 5pm on Tuesday 31 March to australianlpsa@gmail.com!

If you have any questions or need more information, please comment on this blog entry (as others may have a similar query), or email Michelle Delport (ALPSA Competitions Convenor) at australianlpsa@gmail.com.
