AALL LexisNexis® Call for Papers Awards
Description:
The American Association of Law Libraries (AALL) Call for Papers Committee seeks submission of papers for its annual competition. The objectives of the contest are threefold: 1) to promote scholarship among practicing law librarians and in areas of interest to the profession; 2) to provide a creative outlet for law librarians and a forum for their scholarly activities; and 3) to recognize the scholarly efforts of established members, new members, and potential members of AALL.
The winners of the competition will receive a cash award of $750, generously provided by LexisNexis®.
The recipients will be recognized during award ceremonies at the AALL Annual Meeting. Co-authors of winning papers will share the award. Winners also will be given the opportunity to present their papers in a program at the Annual Meeting of the Association. Papers will be forwarded to the Editor of the Law Library Journal for publication consideration.
