Tomorrow (December 4) marks the deadline for my writing contest for law and paralegal students.
And here’s what you can win:
– a pound of organic coffee (to help keep you awake during your study sessions)
– a taxgirl mug (to drink the aforementioned coffee)
– your post on my site (cool mention on the resume)
– bragging rights
and
– I’ll write your law professor in any tax course and tell them to give you an A.
So here’s my disclaimer: I can’t really make your law professor give you an A. You and I both know this. But sometimes, a little push from the outside just to let your professor know that you’re really interested can go a long way. It could also serve as the basis for a tax policy paper for a writing course or a law review article.
As for those bragging rights? A lot of tax folks read my site. Really. And some of those tax folks are in the position to, oh, say, hire students. And winning the contest would certainly make for interesting conversation during job interviews (ahem) and get you a little bit of exposure.
Interested? Of course you are!
So… what’s involved? Easy. Write a guest post for taxgirl.com about any hot tax policy issue. And I don’t mean a news or legal summary. I want a policy post – tell me what the issue is and why it matters. In other words, pick a topic and take a position. Tell me why the law is right or wrong, or just make me think about things in a different way. The key word here is policy.
