The American Society for Legal History has
opened a call for nominations for the Cromwell Book Prize. Here the call:
The William Nelson Cromwell Foundation Book
Prize is awarded annually to the best book in the field of American legal
history by an early career scholar. The prize is designed to recognize and
promote new work in the field by graduate students, law students, post-doctoral
fellows and faculty not yet tenured. The work may be in any area of
American legal history, including constitutional and comparative studies, but
scholarship in the colonial and early national periods will receive some
preference. The prize is limited to a first book, wholly or primarily written
while the author was untenured. Submission of a book by an author who has
previously been awarded a Cromwell Foundation Prize for a dissertation or
article must be accompanied by a showing that the book enhances, or differs in
subject from, the previous work.
The author of the winning book receives a prize
of $5,000. The Foundation awards the prize after a review of the recommendation
of the Cromwell Prize Advisory Committee of the American Society for Legal
History. The Committee shall consider a book in the year of its copyright date
or of its actual publication. However, no book shall be considered for the
prize more than once.
To nominate a book, please send copies of it
and the curriculum vitae of its author to John D. Gordan, III, Chair of the
Cromwell Prize Advisory Committee, and to each member of the Cromwell Book
Prize Advisory Committee with a postmark no later than May 31, 2019.
