Kamila Knaudt reports in the Daily Journal on the winners of the California Supreme Court Historical Society‘s Selma Moidel Smith Law Student Writing Competition.  (Disclosure:  I’m on the Society’s board.)

The winners were honored in a virtual ceremony.  (Video here.)  They were praised by Chief Justice (and Society board chair) Tani Cantil-Sakauye (here) and former Justice (and Society board member) Kathryn Werdegar (here).  The winners and their articles, which will be published in the Society’s annual journal, California Legal History, are:
