Continuing our recap of the prizes announced at this year's meeting of the American Society for Legal History we turn today to the Anne Fleming Article Prize. As readers may remember, the late Anne Fleming was very special to us here at the blog (you can read our remembrance here). About the prize:
The Anne Fleming Article Prize is a joint prize of the the ASLH and the Business History Conference (BHC). It is awarded every other year to the author or authors of the best article published in the previous two years in either Law and History Review or Enterprise and Society on the relation of law and business/economy in any region or historical period.
The Anne Fleming Article Prize is awarded on the recommendation of the editors of the Law and History Review (the official journal of ASLH) and Enterprise and Society (the official journal of Business History Conference).
This year's prize winners were Casey Marina Lurtz for “Codifying Credit: Everyday Contracting and the Spread of the Civil Code in Nineteenth-Century Mexico,” Law and History Review 39, no. 1 (2021): 97-133, and Paolo Di Martino, Mark Latham, and Michelangelo Vasta for “Bankruptcy Laws around Europe (1850-2015): Institutional Change and Institutional Features,” Enterprise & Society 21, no. 4 (2020): 936-990.
We thank the editors of the two journals, as well as all the colleagues who helped create this wonderful tribute to our friend Anne Fleming.
