Seeking Nominations for the 2020 Hugh Lawford Award for Excellence in Legal Publishing

The Canadian Association of Law Libraries / Association canadienne des bibliotheques de droit (CALL/ACBD) is accepting nominations for the 2020 Hugh Lawford Award for Excellence in Legal Publishing.

This award honours a publisher (whether for-profit or not-for profit, corporate or non-corporate) that has demonstrated excellence by publishing a work, series, website, or electronic product that makes a significant contribution to legal research and scholarship.

Anyone is welcome to make nominations – you do not have to be a member of CALL/ACBD. Nominations from the author or publisher of a work are welcomed.

Nominations can be submitted to Ann Marie Melvie, Past President of CALL/ACBD, before February 15, 2020.

The award honours Hugh Lawford (1933-2009), Professor of Law at Queens’ University and founder of Quicklaw. It will be presented to the recipient during the 2020 CALL/ACBD Annual Conference, which will be held in Hamilton, Ontario, May 24-27, 2020.
