The Legal History and Rare Books (LH&RB) Section of the American Association of Law Libraries (AALL), in cooperation with Gale, a Cengage company, announces the Thirteenth Annual Morris L. Cohen Student Essay Competition. The competition is named in honor of Morris L. Cohen, late Professor Emeritus of Law at Yale Law School.
The competition is designed to encourage scholarship and to
acquaint students with the AALL and law librarianship, and is open to students
currently enrolled in accredited graduate programs in library science, law,
history, and related fields. Essays may be on any topic related to legal
history, rare law books, or legal archives. The winner will receive a $1,000.00
prize from Gale, a Cengage company, and will be invited to present their paper
to AALL members via webinar.
Winning and runner-up entries will be invited to submit their entries to UNBOUND:
A Review of Legal History and Rare Books, the official journal of
