Selecting a topic

There is a good article on the Internet that discusses a strategy for choosing a topic and writing a good student article in law school.  For more information, you can read it on HeinOnline.  There is also a text on reserve in the library, entitled Scholarly Writing for Law Students, that is helpful in this regard.  Finally, websites prepared by the Arizona State Law Law School Law Library, the Lewis and Clark Law School Library and the Appalachian School of Law Library provide additional guidance.

Writing Competitions

Writing competitions are another resource for identifying paper topics.  There are several national environmental law writing competitions held each year.  There are lists of writing competitions for law students available on the Web at  https://law.lclark.edu/academics/student_writing_competitions/, http://law.richmond.edu/students/essay-catalog.html, and http://www.envirolawteachers.com/competitions.html  You may choose a paper topic that fits the requirements of one of those competitions, if you wish.
