Essays submitted for consideration must be the work of the submitting student without substantial editorial input from others. The papers are judged on research and analysis, choice oj topic, writing style, originality, and contribution to the literature available on the topic. Depending on the topic, whether the paper has been previously published, and other factors, the winning essay is considered for publication in The Business Lawyer. The winning essay for the 2017-2018 contest was submitted by Kristopher J. Kalkowski. Mr. Kalkowski was awarded the Mendes Hershman Student Writing Contest Prize at the Section's luncheon at the Spring Meeting in April 2018.
