USA: The Chicago-Kent College of Law/Roy C. Palmer Civil Liberties Prize

Overview

Established in 2007 at Chicago-Kent College of Law by alumnus Roy C. Palmer and his wife, Susan M. Palmer, the prize honors a work of scholarship that explores the tension between civil liberties and national security in contemporary American society. The $10,000 prize is designed to encourage and reward public debate among scholars on current issues affecting the rights of individuals and the responsibilities of governments throughout the world.

Articles or books submitted to the competition must be in draft form or have been published within the six months prior to the July 1 deadline. As a condition of accepting the award, the winner will present his or her work at Chicago-Kent. All reasonable expenses will be paid.

Presidential Constitutionalism in Perilous Times (Harvard University Press 2009) by University of Utah professor Scott M. Matheson, Jr., won the 2009 Chicago-Kent College of Law/Roy C. Palmer Civil Liberties Prize. The 2008 Palmer Prize was awarded to Bad Advice: The President’s Lawyers in the War on Terrorism (University Press of Kansas 2009) by Professor Harold H. Bruff of the University of Colorado at Boulder Law School. The inaugural prize, awarded in 2007, went to constitutional scholars David D. Cole and Jules L. Lobel for their book Less Safe, Less Free: Why America Is Losing the War on Terror (The New Press 2007).
