CALL FOR NOMINATIONS FOR THE 2008 LSA ARTICLE PRIZE
The Law and Society Association seeks nominations for its Article Prize, awarded annually (alternate years until 1999) to recognize exceptional scholarship in socio-legal studies for a journal article or chapter in an edited book published within the previous two years.
The competition is open to all forms of law and society scholarship, to authors at any stage of their careers, and to authors from any country of origin, although copies of the work submitted to the committee must be in English. Articles may be published in any scholarly journal, including socio-legal journals, journals in other disciplines, law reviews, or edited books.
The award will be announced at the 2008 Joint Meetings of LSA and CLSA, to be held in May in Montreal, Canada. The prize committee welcomes submission of articles published in 2006 and 2007 (date of publication). An article may be nominated by sending a copy by email attachment to each member of the committee. (Self-nominations are welcome.) Please also mail a single reprint of the article to the LSA office (address below).
The 2008 Prize Committee will be chaired by Connie L. McNeely (Public Policy, George Mason University). Other members are Katherine Barnes (Law, University of Arizona), Bryna Bogoch (Political Studies, Bar Ilan University), Michele Landis Dauber (Sociology and Law, Stanford University), Fiona Kay (Sociology, Queen’s University), and Paul Wahlbeck (Political Science, George Washington University).
