High school students enrolled in public, private, parochial and charter schools and home-schooled students of equivalent grade status in the United States and its Territories are eligible to enter the contest. High school students are those in grades 9-12.
Students are provided a detailed prompt with summaries of applicable court cases to consider. The maximum essay length is 1,000 words.
