Sutherland Prize

The Sutherland Prize, named in honor of the late Donald W. Sutherland, a distinguished historian of the law of medieval England and a mentor of many students, is awarded annually to the person or persons who wrote the best article on the legal history of Britain and/or the British Empire published in the previous year. The award is granted on the recommendation of the Sutherland Prize Committee. To ensure consideration, authors are invited to nominate an article by sending an electronic copy to the committee chair. In keeping with past practice, the committee may also consider eligible articles nominated by the chair. This prize recognizes excellence in scholarly publication in British legal history.
