American Society for Legal History Cromwell
Dissertation Prize for 2015
The William Nelson Cromwell Foundation
has generously funded a dissertation prize of $5,000. The winning dissertation
may focus on any area of American legal history, including constitutional and
comparative studies; topics dealing with the colonial and early national periods
will receive some preference. Anyone who received a Ph.D. in 2014 will be
eligible for this year’s prize. The Foundation awards the prize after a review
of the recommendation of the Cromwell Prize Advisory Committee of the American
Society for Legal History.
To be considered for this year’s prize,
please send one hard-copy of the dissertation and the curriculum vitae of its
author to John D. Gordan, III, Chair of the Cromwell Prize Advisory Committee,
and each member of the Cromwell Dissertation Prize Advisory Subcommittee with a
postmark no later than May 30, 2015.
