A law student planning to enter his third career is the winner of the 2022 ABA Journal/Ross Writing Contest for Legal Short Fiction.
The winning author is 31-year-old Frank Toub, who is entering his third year at the Belmont University College of Law in Nashville, Tennessee. His short story, “Dope Fiend,” is his first stab at fiction writing.
Toub is a former project engineer and Army veteran who decided to go to law school on the GI Bill. “I always viewed attorneys as people who help others with really important problems in their life,” Toub says. He wants to do the same in his third career.
The central theme of Toub’s winning entry came from advice given to Toub’s wife, Alexandria, a data privacy and cybersecurity lawyer who works remotely for a Pennsylvania law firm.
