Professional Scholarship Award
.
Description
Each year, our organization presents AALA Scholarship Awards, which are intended to recognize and encourage scholarly work of AALA members. Two kinds of Professional Scholarship Awards may be presented. One is for academic work (journals, articles, etc.), and the other is for court briefs and amicus briefs that cover a specific agricultural topic or legal analysis.
Criteria
In selecting professional winners, the AALA awards committee considers criteria including the excellence in quality of writing, the relevance to important legal issues in agriculture, broadly defined, the clarity of analysis, the potential effects, and other attributes of scholarship.
Academic articles on an agricultural topic:
- Journals
- Articles
- Other published materials
Court briefs and amicus briefs:
- Thorough analysis or discussion on an agricultural topic
Where to Submit
Please email your nominations to info@aglaw-assn.org with the name of the award in the subject line. The deadline is September 15.
