Attention Virginia high school students – the Virginia State Bar’s Litigation Section has been sponsoring a Law in Society essay contest for the past 20 years. This is an opportunity to win some cash with your interest in the law. The competition is open to public and private high school students as well as home-schooled students in the 9th-12th grades. The intent is to increase awareness and appreciation of our legal system among high school students. Awards go to students whose essays best demonstrate a superior understanding of the role and value of our legal system in our everyday lives according to Gordon Hickey in the December 2011 edition of Virginia Lawyer. The 2012 hypothetical will be about bullying and concerns a middle school girl who is the victim of harassing posts on social networking sites. See http://www.vsb.org/site/public/law-in-society-hypothetical for more information. The deadline for essays is February 15, 2012.
