Abstract

The Nathan Burkan Competition is a national writing competition designed to promote better understanding of the development of copyright law.

Individual law schools select the best paper which are then submitted to a special committee appointed by the American Bar Association to judge the entries.

Distinguished lawyers, jurists, and public officials read and judge the essays. Monetary awards are provided for the first through fifth prize papers.

Comments

Nathan Burkan (1879-1936) was a lawyer and a founding member of the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers. The ASCAP conceived the writing competition as a tribute to Mr. Burkan. Over the years it created a vitality of scholarship on the subject of intellectual property at American law schools.
