Lex: lead Foundation is offering an essay competition for undergraduate students in any legal specialization in developing countries. The aim of the competition is to support students in continuing their studies, as prize funds will be presented directly to the educational institution which the student enrolls.
The student must submit an essay answering this year's question: How can laws promoting gender and disability rights support economic development?
The Essays will be assigned to committees consisting of at least judges to evaluate the essays independently and then the mathematical mean is calculated to find out the final evaluation. For example, if one judge gives an essay 85/100 and a second judge gives it 75/100, the overall score will be 85+75÷2 or 80/100 (80%).
Lex: lead is a group of international lawyers and friends who support economic development focusing on the world's least developed countries. It was launched in 2010 with a grant from the International Bar Association Foundation. In July 2012 the group joined the World Bank-supported Global Forum on Law, Justice, and Development as an intellectual partner. In 2010 the founding members set up Lex: lead as a New York Not-for-Profit registered charity with US Section 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status.
