**ATTENTION STUDENTS**

The ABA Section of Science & Technology Law has created a new Law Student Writing Contest designed to encourage law students to write on subjects related to science and technology law. This is your chance to shine! SUBMISSIONS DUE MARCH 1st!

The theme for the 2008 contest is as follows:

The Internet has taken social networking to a whole new level, not only
for adults but also for children and teens.  Some sites, such as
MySpace, Facebook, and YouTube, have a sweeping range of participants.
Others are narrowly focused, such as blogs geared to patient interest
groups, including those at http://www.patientadvocare.blogspot.com/ and
http://www.childrenwithdiabetes.com/index_cwd.htm. With this seemingly
limitless opportunity for networking and sharing personal information
have come questions about privacy. What are the privacy issues presented
by these new technologies? Can current privacy laws and regimes
adequately address the issues of this continually evolving new world?

The winner will receive a trip to the ABA Annual Meeting in New York
City and may have his or her submission published in The SciTech Lawyer.

All submissions are due March 1, 2008 and the winner will be notified by
June 1, 2008.

Full contest rules and submission criteria can be found on the Section's
website at www.abanet.org/scitech/studentwriting.html.
