But Dan, this contest appears to be aimed at making this College of Law Practice Management some money. Its application form states:
“Mail or E-mail your entry directly to karen@colpm.org and mail a check for your entry fee ($199 U.S. per entry*) made payable to The College of Law Practice Management [in Colorado].” (The entry fee is waived for U.S. non-profit organizations with the right tax exemption.)
I vainly thought that 2 of my recent innovative Slaw articles might qualify for such recognition: (1) “Solving the High Cost of the ‘Review’ Stage of Electronic Discovery”; Slaw, April 17, 2014; and, (2) “The Dependence of Electronic Discovery and Admissibility upon Electronic Records Management”, Slaw Nov. 22, 2013.
But they’re not worth the Canadian dollar equivalent of $199 U.S., in the U.S.
Nothing is free; not even deserved celebrity.
