Continuing with our notices of the awards, prizes, and fellowships announced at the recent meeting of the American Society for Legal History, we turn now to the Kathryn T. Preyer Scholars award. About this 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. At the annual meeting of the Society two early career legal historians designated Kathryn T. Preyer Scholars will present what would normally be their first papers to the Society.
The 2025 winners were Tanner Allread (University of California, Los Angeles), for “‘This Series of Strong Laws’: Choctaw Governance and the Rise of Indigenous Constitutionalism, 1826-1830,” and Will Holub-Moorman (Princeton University/Penn Carey Law), for “Policing Parenthood: Child Support Law and the Enforcement of Austerity in Late Twentieth-Century America.”
Congratulations to both!
