The Entertainment Law Initiative (ELI) Writing Contest is now open. ELI invites law students to identify and research a pressing legal issue facing the music industry today and outline a proposed solution in a 3,000-word essay. A nationwide panel of music law experts judge the papers in a blind process to select one winner and two runners-up. The first place essayist receives a $10,000 scholarship, and two runners-up receive $2,500 scholarships. Winning entries will be published in the ABA Entertainment & Sports Lawyer journal.
