Administrative Law Section Emerging Scholar Award
Self-nominations are welcome! Full-time faculty members without tenure at the time of the work’s publication, including those with fellowships, visiting assistant professorships, or similar positions, are eligible. To nominate someone, please send an anonymized version of their work. (Any reasonable effort to strip identifying information is fine.) Any substantial scholarly work-whether a law review article, monograph, or chapter-published in final form between September 1 and August 31 is eligible. The work may be on any topic related to administrative law, although the award selection committee may favor works with greater general applicability. We will present the award at the AALS Annual Meeting in January.
