Book Prizes in American Legal History Here is a joint announcement of the Cromwell Book Prize of the William Nelson Cromwell Foundation and the John Phillip Reid Book Award of the American Society for Legal History. The Reid Award and the Cromwell Book Prize are mutually exclusive. The Cromwell Book Prize is awarded for first books, wholly or primarily written while the author was untenured. The Reid Award is for a first or subsequent book written by a mid-career or senior scholar. For advice in doubtful cases, please consult Daniel Ernst, Chair of the Cromwell Book Prize Advisory Subcommittee, and Sophia Lee, chair of the ASLH Committee on the John Phillip Reid Book Award. Cromwell Book Prize The William Nelson Cromwell Foundation awards annually a $5000 book prize for excellence in scholarship in the field of American Legal History by a junior 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. The William Nelson Cromwell Foundation awards the prize on the recommendation of the Cromwell Prize Advisory Committee of the American Society for Legal History. The Committee will consider books published in 2012. 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, 2013.
