Law student wins writing contest
Marc Prokopchak, a third year law student, from Elizabethtown, Pa. won the Texas A&M Journal of Property Law 2015 National Writing Contest Student Edition.
His submission titled “Renewing Respect for Record Notice: Cleaning up the Pennsylvania Title Wash” was the winning entry and will be published in the Texas A&M Journal of Property Law.
Prokopchak became interested in the topic when he was interning at the US Middle District Court for Chief Judge Christopher Conner and a case with a quiet title action raised a title wash argument. “The concept immediately grabbed my interest because it is so peculiar and also seems anathema to modern property law concepts,” Prokopchak said.
