: PrawfsElyn Saks Wins MacArthur Genius Award
By Dan Markel, Ethan Leib, Rick Garnett, Matt Bodie, Paul Horwitz , Steve Vladeck, and Orly Lobel
USC law professor Elyn Saks has just won a $500,000 MacArthur "Genius" Award (see here). Saks writes about a variety of issues at the intersection of law and mental health, including her own struggles with schizophrenia and psychosis. Here is a link to her recent book, The Center Cannot Hold: My Journey Through Madness.
I'm not aware of other law professors who have won this award, though people might want to list past recipients (assuming there are some) in the comments.
