The Joseph L. Andrews Legal Literature Award recognizes a significant textual contribution — a book, pamphlet, periodical, website, database, or other publication — to legal literature. Nominations are measured by their creative, evaluative elements, and the extent to which originality and judgment factored into the work’s formation.
“The three of us truly appreciate being nominated for, and receiving, this award,” O'Connor said. “We hope that our publication proves to be a valuable research tool for all those who are interested in life and the law in the colonial era.”
The award recipients will be recognized at the 108th AALL Annual Meeting & Conference, to be held in Philadelphia from July 18-21, 2015.
