Adam Podgòrecki Prize >>> 2008
Call for Nominations (Deadline 30 March 2008) The Research Committee on the Sociology of Law (RCSL) established this prize in 2005 to honour the memory and lifetime achievement of the late Adam Podgórecki, who was a founding member of the RCSL and the International Sociological Association (ISA) and a leading figure for many years in the international law and society community. Among other things, he worked tirelessly for the independent status of socio-legal research against the pull of the large disciplines of sociology on one side and law on the other. The Prize is awarded yearly by a committee chosen by the President of the RCSL. Every other year the prize is given to a distinguished scholar in recognition of his or her contribution to the field. In alternate years, the prize is given to a younger scholar, to reward promising work in the sociology of law and allied disciplines. In 2008, the Prize will be awarded for an outstanding published study by an emerging socio-legal scholar. The study may be in the form of a book, an article or a series of article. Nominations of emerging socio-legal scholars are invited for the 2008 Podgórecki Prize. Candidates are eligible if they have published one or more significant works within 10 years their doctorate. Nominations require support from at least two members of the RCSL. Publications can be in any language. For works in languages other than those known by the prize committee, the nominators should ideally provide selected translations. To consider works in less well-known languages, the Prize committee can co-opt further members and consult other members of the RCSL. Nominations must include
The members of the 2008 Podgorecki Prize Committee are: Rosemary Hunter (chair), Pierre Guibentif and Teresa Picontó-Novales. Nominations should be sent to Rosemary Hunter (R.C.Hunter@kent.ac.uk), or to the Secretary of the RCSL (luigi.cominelli@unimi.it), and should be received by 30 March 2008.
