CALL FOR NOMINATIONS

2008 HARRY KALVEN PRIZE

The Harry J. Kalven, Jr. Prize is awarded by the Law and Society Association each year to someone whose empirical scholarship, broadly conceived, has contributed most effectively to the advancement of knowledge in law and society. It is given in recognition of a body of scholarly work, at least some of which has been completed in the past few years. It is not a book prize. Neither is it a "career achievement" award.  The Prize is $500, shared in the case of multiple recipients, and a certificate.  The award will be presented in May, 2008, at the Joint Annual Meetings of the Law and Society Association and the Canadian Law and Society Association to be held in Montreal, Canada. Past winners of this award can be found on here.
