More details from the ASLH meeting in Dallas:
In 2009, the William Nelson Cromwell Foundation made available a
number of awards intended to support research and writing in American
legal history. (The Foundation was established in 1930 to promote and
encourage scholarship in legal history, particularly in the colonial
and early national periods of the United States.) The number of awards
to be made in any year, and their amounts, is at the discretion of the
Foundation. In the past four years, the trustees of the Foundation
have made three to five awards annually, in amounts up to $5,000.
Preference will be given to scholars at the early stages of their
careers.
