Thomas Jefferson 3L Susan Riggs Tinsky is the winner of the First Annual Public Law Section Law Student Writing Competition, sponsored by the State Bar of California.
Her article, "A Tale of Two Cities: Reconsidering the Doctrinal Treatment of Monetary Exactions" will be published in the upcoming Winter 2008 Public Law Journal.
"Writing the winning paper was a labor of love,” says Tinsky. “I used it as an opportunity to delve deeply into a topic of great importance to me in a way that would have been impractical to do in a classroom. Being acknowledged by the Public Law Section and receiving great exposure to my future peers makes all the hard work even more worthwhile. I would encourage all students to take advantage of the opportunities provided by student writing competitions."
Congratulations to Susan!
