Estabslished in 2007, the short story contest is sponsored every other year by the Michigan State Bar. This is the second time that Caminsky has been a winner in the State Bar short story contest. He also won in 2007, with the short story "Crapshoot."

"Crucible of Justice" tells the story of a murder prosecution, seen from the perspective of one of the surviving victims. It was inspired by one of Caminsky's cases as an appellate prosecutor.
