Herbert Hovenkamp is in the 2007 Class of Fellows elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Hat tip to Brian Leiter. Herb was my very generous colleague at my first job at the University of Iowa. It is always so great when honors like this come to nice people.Herb is distinguished in two fields: legal history and antitrust. He holds the Ben and Dorothy Willie Chair at Iowa. His legal history works include Enterprise and American Law (Harvard University Press, 1991), which was awarded the Littleton-Griswold Prize by the American Historical Association.
