The 'Lectric Law Library's Law Contest Center

In celebration of the 'Lectric Law Library's Zillionth visitor we rented the White House, hired the Rolling Stones, Alvin & the Chipmonks, and Perry Como, and threw a party for the entire Library staff -- who all got really drunk, smoked 18 pounds of LSD, had a giant orgy [Damn, that Perry is one wild dude!], puked our guts out [just when Newt & Hillary dropped by of course] -- and after being released from the hoosekow, decided to announce we've begun a series of contests with the biggest prizes in the history of the Internet -- and quite probably the History of Mankind!

We'll be announcing each contest over the next few weeks/months/years as we think them up or our beloved patrons suggest them. So if you want to cash in big on our more-than-temporary insanity, check back once-in-awhile... And Enter The F*ckin' Contests!
