[We have the following announcement. DRE.]
The Honors Committee of the
American Society for Legal History solicits nominations of senior scholars for consideration for election as Honorary Fellows of the Society. Election as Honorary Fellow is the highest honor the Society can confer. It recognizes distinguished historians whose scholarship has shaped the broad discipline of legal history and influenced the work of others. Honorary Fellows are the scholars we admire, whom we aspire to emulate, and on whose shoulders we stand. The Society seeks to recognize scholars who are not simply distinguished in their fields, but who also have given back to the discipline and made their fields stronger by creating communities of scholars and scholarship and by helping other (often younger) scholars to stand on their shoulders. In other words, scholars who are as committed to building a future for their fields as they are to studying the past. Commensurate with the growing international reach of the Society, we seek nominations of senior scholars who, collectively, similarly encompass the wide scope of scholarship in legal history.
Nominations should be submitted to Bruce H. Mann, chair of the Honors Committee, by email (mann@law.harvard.edu) before January 15, 2025. Each nomination should include a statement of why the nominee merits election. Statements should address the nominee’s scholarly distinction and their citizenship in the field. A list of current and past honorary fellows is [here].
