Via H-Law,
we learned of the call for the 2019-2020 Raoul Berger-Mark DeWolfe Howe Fellowship:
Harvard Law School invites applications for the
Raoul Berger-Mark DeWolfe Howe Legal History Fellowship for the academic year
2019-2020. Eligible applicants include those who have a first law degree,
who have completed the required coursework for a doctorate, or who have recently
been awarded a doctoral degree. A J.D. is preferred, but not required.
The purpose of the fellowship is to enable the fellow to complete a major piece
of writing in the field of legal history, broadly defined. There are no
limitations as to geographical area or time period.
Fellows are expected to spend the majority of
their time on their own research. They also help coordinate the Harvard Law
School Legal History Colloquium, which meets four or five times each semester.
Fellows are invited to present their own work at the colloquium. Fellows will
be required to be in residence at the law school during the academic year
(September through May).
Applicants for the fellowship for 2019-2020
should submit their applications and supporting materials electronically to
Professor Bruce H. Mann (mann@law.harvard.edu).
Applications should outline briefly the
fellow’s proposed project (no more than five typewritten pages) and include a
writing sample and a curriculum vitae that gives the applicant’s educational
background, publications, works in progress, and other relevant experience,
accompanied by official transcripts of all academic work done at the graduate
level. The applicant should arrange for two academic references to be submitted
electronically. The transcripts may be sent by regular mail to Professor Mann
at Harvard Law School, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138.
The deadline for applications is February 15,
2019, and announcement of the award will be made by March 15, 2019.
The fellow selected will be awarded a stipend
of $38,000.
