CAL CHIPCHASE ’02 entered "The Pacific Legal Foundation's Third Annual Program for Judicial Awareness Writing Contest." His paper, "The Balance of Power: Federal Environmental Regulations & The Modern Commerce Clause," which addressed the tension between recent Court decisions narrowing the scope of the Commerce Clause and the most sweeping applications of the Clean Water Act that in large continue unchecked, placed second overall, with a cash prize of $3,000 and the opportunity to have the paper published in a journal later this fall.
