Rule of Law Writing Competition Now Open!
This month's competition is sponsored by Supreme Court Historical Society (SCHS) and invites teens ages 13-19 to write in three genres: personal narrative, opinion writing, and creative writing. Through these genres, students will consider how the rule of law relates to their lives, local communities, countries, and role as global citizens. Their work will be judged by real US federal judges and will be eligible for republication through SCHS outlets. Students are welcome to enter more than one genre category.
