The Everytown Law Fund is proud to announce its second annual

National Writing Competition

Now open to current law school students!

Gun violence is one of the most pressing public health issues of our time. Through this writing competition, Everytown Law encourages the next generation of lawyers to consider ways in which litigation can be used to shape the future of gun violence prevention and gun safety in the civil and criminal justice systems. We invite you to be creative in choosing your idea! A list of sample topics may be found on the Writing Competition web page. Click here to view last year's winning submissions!
