2012 Robert T. Matsui Writing Competition
The Robert T. Matsui Annual Writing Competition was established
by the Asian PacificAmerican Bar Association Educational Fund (AEF)
in 2005 to honor the late Congressman
Robert T. Matsui and his many accomplishments. A graduate of the
University of California at
Berkeley and the Hastings College of Law, Congressman Matsui was
first elected to the United
States Congress in 1978 from Sacramento, California. He won
re-election to Congress 13
times. Congressman Matsui was a strong supporter of AEF, serving
as the keynote speaker for
its Annual Benefit Dinner in 1997 and again in 2003.
Through this writing competition, AEF seeks to encourage legal
scholarship on issues of
importance to the Asian Pacific American legal community and,
more generally, the publication of law review
articles on topics of relevance to racial and ethnic minorities
and the law.
The Competition is open to all law students in the United
States.

of
