Joseph L. Andrews Legal Literature Award

Description

The Joseph L. Andrews Legal Literature Award recognizes a significant textual contribution to legal literature. A variety of formats will be considered so long as the work is significant due to its enduring research value, the result of extensive effort, and/or its impact.  Nominations for the Andrews Award shall be measured by the creative, evaluative elements and the extent to which originality and judgment were factors in the formation of the work.  The award honors works of legal bibliography, legal research texts, and works that advance the field of law librarianship more generally.
