The National Center for Computer Crime Data notes with interest the
considerable controversy engendered by the trial and guilty verdict in
the case of Robert T. Morris. In order to expand and focus the
conversation, we announce the "If I were the Robert Morris case judge"
essay contest. We will award $100 to the best essay of 250 words or
less suggesting the appropriate sentence for Mr. Morris.
Security Magazine has agreed to publish the winning essay in its May
issue. Contestants need not be familiar with the federal guidelines
for sentencing, but should assume, for the purpose of their essay,
that the judge can impose any sanctions he or she thinks reasonable.
All essays must be received by the National Center for Computer Crime
Data, 1222-B 17th Avenue, Santa Cruz, CA, 95062 by March 28, 1990.
