<p>Delaware Law School is celebrating the success of student Jason Rigby, who entered and won a national writing competition <a href="http://bit.ly/1MOh5IL">with an article recently published in The National Law Review.</a></p>
<p>Rigby, a third-year, extended-division student authored the 1,500-word piece that analyzed the Delaware Court of Chancery&rsquo;s recent rulings on disclosure-only settlements, including a standard set out in the much-watched In re Trulia, Inc. Stockholder Litigation, decided in January.</p>
<p>Rigby said he first put the piece together to submit to a Bloomberg news outlet, which didn&rsquo;t work out. Then he noticed a call for entries in The National Law Review 2016 Law Student Writing Competition. The opportunity was posted on the What&rsquo;s Up @ DE Law blog coordinated by the Office of Student Affairs. The National Law Review publishes articles for access by lawyers, paralegals, law students, business executives, insurance professionals, accountants, compliance officers, human resource managers and others who want to better understand legal issues relevant to their work.</p>
<p>So Rigby, who works as a law clerk in a Wilmington civil litigation firm, polished his Trulia piece and entered it. He did all the work on his own.</p>
<p>Nicole Minnis, Esq., lead publications manager for The National Law Review, said the outlet received many submissions.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Jason&rsquo;s article rose to the top. He was selected because his topic is directly relevant to our audience and it was very well written,&rdquo; Minnis said. &ldquo;His article was concise and was written in such a way that it would have appeared to have been submitted by an attorney who writes for our publication.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Rigby said it was satisfying <a href="http://bit.ly/1MOh5IL">to see his work published</a>, and he was glad he didn&rsquo;t give up.</p>
<p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s great when somebody chooses it and says this is something we want to put out to our readers,&rdquo; he said.</p>
