The Chase Paper is awarded each year in memory of Dean Jonathon
B. Chase. The award is given by the Vermont Law Review to a
third year student whose submitted entry best represents the
standards established by Dean Chase and continued by the Vermont
Law Review. The competition is open to all members of the third
year class, except for Vermont Law Review members. Ideal entries
should contain a scholarly analysis of a discrete legal issue.
Independent research papers, papers submitted for writing-intensive courses,
and papers used to satisfy Advanced Writing Requirements generally should fit this criteria.
Consequently, submissions are not limited to work completed during the present
semester. The submissions should be double-spaced, twelve-point font, one-inch
margins, at least ten pages in length, and properly cited using the Bluebook (18th ed.).
The judges will consider the following factors: originality, quality of research
and analysis, Bluebook form, clarity of style, and timeliness of the subject.
