The annual Robert Ballow Excellence in Writing Awards were presented to Nashville School of Law students on March 22. Eight students were recognized for their performance in the Rigorous Writing Exercise program. The Rigorous Writing Exercise is a project all Nashville School of Law students embark on as a requirement of graduation. Working with a volunteer mentor from the legal community, students research and write a 15–20-page paper on the topic of their choice. First prize went to Allison Wilson’s “Felony Voter Disenfranchisement: Putting an End to Second-Class Citizenship in Tennessee with the Implementation of Automatic Voter Restoration.” Visit NSL’s website for a complete list of the winners, their mentors and to read their submissions.
