Closing out our re-cap of the awards, fellowships, and prizes announced at the November 2022 meeting of the American Society for Legal History, we are noting here the winners of the Kathryn T. Preyer Award:
Named after the late Kathryn T. Preyer, a distinguished historian of the law of early America known for her generosity to early career legal historians, the program of Kathryn T. Preyer Scholars is designed to help legal historians at the beginning of their careers.
This year's winners are Evelyn Atkinson (University of Chicago), for her paper "Telegraph Torts: The Lost Lineage of the Public Service Corporation," and Kyle DeLand (University of California, Berkeley), for his paper "California Redeemed: Equity, Fraud, and Land Monopoly in the Moral Economy of Colonial Property, 1831-1861."
Congratulations to both scholars, and thank you to the members of the Preyer award committee, chaired by Elizabeth Katz, for their service!
