The 2008 Richard D. Cudahy Writing Competition on Regulatory and Administrative Law
ACS welcomes submissions to the 2008 Richard D. Cudahy Writing Competition on Regulatory and Administrative Law. The competition is open to practicing lawyers, policymakers, academics, and law students.
Judge Cudahy's work in regulatory and administrative law combines a keen grasp of legal doctrine, deep insight into the institutional forces that determine how doctrine is implemented, and an appreciation of the public impact of doctrinal and institutional choices, including the consequences for fundamental values such as fairness, participation, and transparency. This competition seeks to encourage and reward these qualities in the scholarship of others.
Up to three top papers will receive special recognition at the ACS National Convention, on the ACS website, and potentially through other means. The author of the winning paper will also receive a cash prize of $3,000. Judges will include leading academics and federal judges.
We encourage participants to construe the topic broadly and welcome submissions on a variety of substantive areas. The deadline for submission is February 15, 2008. For more information please visit the ACS website.
ACS thanks Judge Cudahy's clerks and staff for their generous support of the Richard D. Cudahy Writing Competition on Regulatory and Administrative Law.
