The Intellectual Property Section of the State Bar of Wisconsin announces its annual memorial writing competition for law students. The author of the best student article, as judged by the IP Section Board of Directors, will receive an award of $1,000 in cash. The author of the second place article will receive an award of $500. The top two articles may also be considered for publication by the IP Section or by the Marquette IP Law Journal. The competition is open to all J.D. candidates at the University of Wisconsin and Marquette University. Academic credit may also be available; the Section suggests that students check with the appropriate Professor or Instructor. The subject matter of the articles may relate to any branch of intellectual property, including patents, copyrights, trademarks, or trade secrets. The judges will evaluate each submission on several criteria, including originality, significance of topic, depth and quality of analysis, and clarity of writing style. The deadline for submission is April 30, 2008. For more information, please go to http://www.wisbar.org/AM/Template.cfm?Section=Sections&TEMPLATE=/CM/ContentDisplay.cfm&CONTENTID=56345
