The TBA Environmental Law Section has announced Alejandra Nawrocki, a student at the Belmont University College of Law, as the winner of its Hastings Writing Competition for 2022. The judges selected Nawrocki’s essay, Environmental Crime: Incentivizing Corporate Compliance Through a Modification of the Organizational Federal Sentencing Guidelines, for being timely and capturing the spirit of the competition. University of Memphis Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law student Zachary Jernigan's essay, Equitable Apportionment Applied to Interstate Aquifers: Did Mississippi Really Not See This Decision Coming?, was chosen as runner-up. The competition, founded in memory of one of the Environmental Law Section's founding members, Jon E. Hastings, is a juried competition for the best legal writing by a Tennessee law student on a topic of Tennessee or federal environmental law.
