Here are the details, per an e-mail correspondence with fellow BLSA member Germani Hardeman of Loyola:

“BLSA presidents, please forward this email regarding the southern region BLSA write on competition.

The 2010-2011 SRBLSA Law Journal Write-on competition has begun! The Southern Region Black Law Students Association (SRBLSA) Law Journal was created in 2005 as an answer to law students' and other professionals' concern of a lack of a representative voice for issues facing southern Blacks. The Journal strives to serve as a forum for sound legal scholarship reflecting the interests of southern Black communities that will stimulate thought and simultaneously trigger positive change. While the Journal's primary focus is on the southern Black populace, it will afford writing opportunities to all persons and appeal to a plethora of audiences regardless of race.

Joining a law journal is an honor and we would be honored if you would apply to join our team! you may download the Write-on documents at

If you have any questions that cannot be answered within the documents, please feel free to contact me at eic@srblsalawjournal.org.

Thank you for your time and I look forward to reading your submissions!Regards,

Germani Hardeman
