2017 WRITING COMPETITION
The American College of Consumer Financial Services Lawyers is pleased
to announce awards to be presented for:
(a) the best book
(b) the best publishable article, book chapter, or substantial book
review
(c) the best student note or comment on a
topic dealing with consumer financial services law.
The awards include cash payments of $2500, $2000, and $1000,
respectively, a Certificate of Recognition from the College, and travel
expenses to attend the Spring 2017 meeting of the College. In any given year, depending on submissions,
all three awards, or fewer, may be made.
Eligible entries will address a topic on consumer financial services,
but not securities regulation, insurance, or the safety-and-soundness aspects
of banking regulation. Works on subjects
within these (or other) areas, however, will be considered if they bear
directly on consumer financial services.
Entries must have been written or published between November 15, 2015,
and December 1, 2016. The deadline for
submission is December 1, 2016. Unpublished
entries should be typed, double spaced, and in law review format.
The winners will be honored at the annual meeting of the College held
in conjunction with the Spring Meeting of the Business Law Section of the
American Bar Association, to be held in New Orleans in April 2017.
