Second-year USC Law student Becky Raizman won the California Bar’s Second Annual Public Law Section Student Writing Competition with her submission, “Legal and Policy Justifications for Transitioning Foster Youth Services as an Entitlement in California: Section 391 Hearings and Continuing Court Jurisdiction.”
