Write about Juries for Dwyer Prize

The Federal Bar Association of the Western District of Washington sponsors the William L. Dwyer Jury Project Award writing competition. Submissions are due April 4, 2008. UW law students, if you've got thoughts about the jury system, write them down -- you can even use a related paper you've already written -- and you might win $2,000.
