Competitors may be citizens of any nation but must be 35 years old or younger on December 31, 2012. They need not be members of the American Society of International Law.

Submissions can be on any subject related to the field of Private International Law. Submissions should be received no later than 5:00 pm EST on February 28, 2013. Entries must be written in English. We do not have a word limit on articles, nor do we express a preference for shorter or longer pieces. The focus will be on the quality of the submission.

This year, the prize will consist of a $500 and a one-year free membership to ASIL. The prize will be awarded by the Private International Law Interest Group based upon the recommendation of a Prize Committee. Decisions of the Prize Committee on the winning essay and on any conditions relating to this prize are final.

Entries must be submitted by email in Word or PDF format. They should contain two different documents: a) the essay itself, without any identifying information other than the title and b) a second document containing the title of the entry and the author’s name, affiliation, and contact details.

Submissions and any queries should be addressed by email to Private International Law Interest Group Co-Chairs Rahim Moloo (rahim.moloo@nyu.edu) and Ralf Michaels (michaels@law.duke.edu).

All submissions will be acknowledged by e-mail.
