We are proud to announce that submissions are welcome for Georgetown Law Technology Review's annual writing competition. The author(s) of the first place paper will be awarded $2,000; the author(s) of the second place paper will be awarded $500. The first place author(s) also may have the opportunity to be published in Volume 9 of our journal. Read below--or use this link: https://lnkd.in/etY2nyNB --for more details on the topic and how to submit by June 3, 2024. This year’s topic is Emerging Biotechnologies and Their Relationships to Personal Freedoms. Biotechnology has played an evermore increasing part in our lives, from the biometric data collected in our smartwatch to the vaccine we took during the pandemic. But as these innovations can be utilized to solve global health crises, find early signs of disease, or even alert authorities to urgent health issues, they can also intersect with the rights of privacy, speech, and reproduction. Consider how some women, with the overturning of Roe, worried that their private data would be used to target those who sought abortions. Or consider how doctors in many states are barred from recommending certain treatments to those in the LGBTQ+ community–medical advances and the law are invariably intertwined. Requirements: - Papers should be 3000-5000 words long (not including footnotes) and be submitted in Times New Roman size 12 font, single spaced. Footnotes must conform to the 20th edition of The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation. Papers must be in English. - Papers will be accepted from students enrolled at any ABA-accredited law school in the United States during the 2024-2025 academic year. The paper must be the author’s own work, although students may incorporate feedback received as part of an academic course or supervised writing project. The paper must not have been published or committed for publication in another journal; the Georgetown Law Technology Review must have the first right of publication for any winning essay. - Please submit papers via email to techinstitute@law.georgetown.edu. Submissions are due on June 3, 2024. Please reach out to for any questions!
