At the 2025 annual meeting, the American Society for Legal History named three honorary fellows. As the ASLH website explains, "[e]lection as an Honorary Fellow . . . is the highest honor the Society can confer." This designation "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."
We quote in full the ASLH announcement of 2025 honorees Constance Backhouse, Lauren Benton, and Mae Ngai.
