Paul M. Bator Award
The Federalist Society Seeks Nominations for 2009 Bator Award
The Federalist Society is seeking nominations for the 2009 Paul M. Bator Award. The award was established in 1989 in memory of Professor Paul M. Bator, a renowned scholar and teacher of federal courts and constitutional law. Professor Bator taught at Harvard Law School from 1959 to 1982 and from 1983 to 1985, and at the University of Chicago from 1985 until his untimely death in 1989. He also served as Principal Deputy Solicitor General in 1982 and 1983. The award is given annually to a young academic (under 40) who has demonstrated excellence in legal scholarship, a commitment to teaching, a concern for students, and who has made a significant public impact. The award will be presented at the Society's annual National Student Symposium in early 2009.
Nominees for the award should have made a significant public impact through their work and demonstrate excellence in legal scholarship, a commitment to teaching, and a concern for students. Nominations should be submitted to the National Office of The Federalist Society by August 15, 2008.
