Open Write-On Competition
Each Spring, after finals, the Journal of High Technology hosts an Open Write On Competition for students specifically interested in joining this journal. The competition will consist of a Bluebook exercise and writing component.  Competitors will be allotted two weeks to complete both portions.

Completed applications will be reviewed by current JHTL members.  Submissions will be evaluated based on writing style, analysis and proper Bluebook form.  The evaluation process is completely anonymous.

Eligibility Information
Students entering the 2nd year day division and 3rd year evening division who rank in the top 25% of their respective sections will be invited to compete in the Closed Write On Competition.  This privilege rewards the top student in each section to join the JHTL without having to participate in the Open or Closed Write-On Competitions.
