Contact: Debra Lesser
The Association of Justices of the Supreme Court of the State of New York and the New York Law Journal have
partnered with the New York City Department of Education to sponsor the
16th Annual Law Day Essay Contest for high school students in grades
10-12. The Law Day theme for 2016 is “Miranda: More than Words” because
2016 marks the 50th anniversary of one of the nation’s best-known U.S.
Supreme Court cases, Miranda v. Arizona. The theme will explore
the procedural protections afforded by the U.S. Constitution, how these
rights are safeguarded by the courts, and why the preservation of these
principles is essential to citizens' liberty. Ten students will win the
opportunity to intern for one week with a justice of the Supreme Court
and earn a $100 gift card. A maximum of 10 entries from each school will
be considered. One of the winning essays will be published in the New York Law Journal, a legal periodical published by American Lawyer Media (ALM). Click here to apply.
