27th Annual National NALSA Writing Competition

The goal of the National NALSA Writing Competition is to encourage law students to become involved with National NALSA and increase awareness and education regarding legal issues that impact Native Nations, Tribal organizations, and Indigenous communities and people.

This year, the Competition will be hosted by the Michigan Law Review Online!

Michigan Law Review Online is the online-exclusive counterpart of the Michigan Law Review, one of the oldest and most prestigious legal scholarship journals in the country. MLR Online places emphasis on timely legal scholarship and, in accord with that goal, has an expedited production process compared to most other journals.

Submissions are now being accepted! The gist? Here you go:

• 4,000–8,000 words (Yes—you read that right. A much shorter writing requirement than traditional law review Notes and Articles; after all, our goal is to make legal scholarship ACCESSIBLE!);
• Deadline: March 19, 2027; and
• One of the best law journals in the country.

All of the rest of the nitty gritty details can be found at the link below for the 2027 NNALSA Writing Competition Rules.

This year, Manuel Lewis (Gila River Indian Community, first descendant) is serving as the Writing Competition Administrator. He is an Executive Online Editor of the Michigan Law Review and can be contacted at writingcompetition@nationalnalsa.org if you have any questions!
