Overview: The Standing Committee on Law and National Security, founded in 1962 by then-ABA President and later Supreme Court Justice Lewis J. Powell, conducts studies, sponsors programs and conferences, and administers working groups on law and national security-related issues. The Committee’s activities assist policymakers, educate lawyers, the media and the public, and enable the Committee to make recommendations to the ABA.

In furtherance of this mission the Standing Committee is proud to announce a new and innovative writing competition for law students to provide their unique perspective and insight to one of the most important questions our country faces, how to craft a legal response to the problems presented by terrorism and other emerging national security threats.
