Enter Bloomberg Law’s Writing Competition on Law and Technology

Bloomberg Law has announced a writing competition for law students. Entries need to be 750 words and are due November 1st, 2023. Bloomberg Law will publish the winning entry on its website outside of the paywall and send the winner a swag bag. Here is the writing prompt from Bloomberg Law:

We invite students to choose an area of law and example of technology, then describe how that technology might be tested in courts–based on state or federal laws, regulations, or court precedent–and how those developments could update past practices or force a rethinking of the legal landscape entirely.

For instance, you might consider how cryptocurrency impacts securities law, how AI transforms or challenges employment law, how face-reading technology intersects with privacy rights, or the role biometrics plays in health-care law.
