The AALS Section on Law Libraries and Legal Information Award

The purpose of the award is to honor those who have made outstanding contributions to teaching and scholarship in the areas of legal information and academic law librarianship. Contributions may also include outstanding service, mentoring, leadership, or any combination of these contributions.

Selection Process: The Chair of the Section on Law Libraries and Legal Information shall seek nominations from the Section through its discussion list, along with other venues that may be appropriate, including websites and email. Only those qualified to be Section members may make nominations. Only Section members and other individuals are eligible for the award; law schools, institutions or organizations are not eligible.

The Selection Committee shall consist of the Section Officers and Executive Board. They shall discuss the nominees by e-mail or conference call, as the Chair shall arrange, and then vote. The nominee receiving the most votes (after run-off between the top two nominees, in the event no nominee receives a majority on the initial polling) shall receive the award.

After voting, the Chair shall inform the AALS Managing Director to verify that the award criteria and procedures were followed and to provide the name and affiliation of the winner. Notification shall occur by November 1.
