Writing Awards
The Lawyering Process Program presents two awards annually to recognize student achievement in legal writing. Finalists for the awards are selected from each Lawyering Process section and judged by volunteer attorneys and judges. The awards are named after pioneers of the DU Lawyering Process Program, Professor Jeffrey H. Hartje and Professor John H. Reese.
The Hartje Objective Writing Award is presented for the best office memorandum written in the fall semester of Lawyering Process.
The Reese Persuasive Writing Award is presented for the best motion brief written in the spring semester of Lawyering Process.
