The International Law Section announces that it will again give the Ralph J.Bunche Award for the best paper concerning international legal issues in business presented at the ALSB annual conference in Nashville. In order to enter the competition, papers should be prepared in appropriate style, and must be received no later than July 1, 2003. Prentice Hall Publishing (Pearson Education) will generously contribute a $500 prize to accompany the award.
The Ralph J. Bunche Award has been established to recognize unpublished original legal research in the area of international business law. The major factors used in judging will be excellence in legal scholarship, contribution to an understanding of an appreciation for an area of international business law, quality of writing and research, and readiness for publication.
To be considered, papers must not have been published or accepted for publication elsewhere by the time of the conference. The submission (to be made in word format as an email attachment to the email address given below), should be submitted with a detachable cover page indicating the title, and the author's name, position, school affiliation, address, telephone number, and e-mail address. Receipt will be acknowledged by return email.
A panel of reviewers will then blind referee the papes. The decision of the reviewers will be final. Last year's winners are ineligible, as they will be helping to judge the papers. Also, the International Law Section reserves the right to publish the winning paper in our own online journal, _International Business Law Journal_. Those who intend to submit the paper for consideration in other journals should make sure this requirement does not create problems.
Submit the article in word format as an email attachment to Bruce Carolan, at bruce.carolan@dit.ie
