The American College of Trust and Estate Counsel (ACTEC) announces the American\u00a0 College of Trust and Estate Counsel Mary Moers Wenig 2012 Student Writing Competition. This competition was created by ACTEC\u2019s Legal Education Committee, which consists of law school professors who teach in the area of trusts and estates and practitioners who teach as adjuncts in the trusts and estates field. The competition honors the late Mary Moers Wenig, a member of ACTEC\u2019s Legal Education Committee, who was a law school professor for over 30 years.<\/p>\n

The American College of Trust and Estate Counsel (ACTEC) is a professional association consisting of approximately 2,700 lawyers\u00a0from throughout the United States, Canada and other parts of the world who are elected as Fellows of the College. Fellows are\u00a0selected on the basis of professional reputation and ability in the fields of trusts and estates and on the basis of having made substantial contributions to these fields through lecturing, writing, teaching and bar activities.<\/p>\n

Consistent with ACTEC\u2019s purposes, the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel Mary Moers Wenig Student Writing Competition was created to encourage and reward scholarly works in the area of trusts and estates. ACTEC\u2019s purposes are to\u00a0maintain an association of lawyers, international in scope, skilled and experienced in the preparation of wills and trusts; estate planning; probate procedure and administration of trusts and estates of decedents, minors and incompetents; to improve and reform probate, trust and tax laws, procedures, and professional responsibility, to bring together qualified lawyers whose character and ability will contribute to the achievement of the purposes of the College; and to cooperate with bar associations and other organizations with similar purposes.<\/p>\n

The funding for the competition will be provided by the ACTEC Foundation, a 501(c)(3) public charity that supports educational projects relating to trust and estate law.<\/p>\n

This competition is open to any law student in good standing (full-time or part-time) who is currently enrolled as a J.D. or LL.M.\u00a0 candidate in an ABA-accredited law school within the United States or its possessions.<\/p>\n
