Burton Award nominations due Friday

For over a decade, the Burton Awards for Legal Achievement have recognized excellent legal writing done by lawyers and law students.

For the past seven years, the Burton Awards have included an award for Outstanding Contributions to Legal Writing Education. The award is given annually to an individual or group that has made an outstanding contribution to the education of lawyers in the field of legal analysis, research, and writing, whether through teaching, program design, program support, innovative thinking, or writing. The contributions considered may be significant single achievements or the accumulated achievements of a career.  

Nominations should describe the contributions of the nominee and should be forwarded to one of the members of the selection committee by e-mail: Anne Kringel, akringel@law.upenn.edu, Grace Tonner, gtonner@law.uci.edu, or Nancy Schultz, nschultz@chapman.edu.  Nominations are due this Friday, February 11, 2011.
