Announcement: Dennis Leslie Mahoney Prize in Jurisprudence

By Larry Solum

<p>The Julius Stone Institute of Jurisprudence in the Sydney Law School at the University of Sydney invites entries for the Dennis Leslie Mahoney Prize in Jurisprudence 2011. The prize is funded by a generous gift from the Honourable Dennis Mahoney QC AO, former President of the New South Wales Court of Appeal. Throughout his life and especially in his seminal work of 1946, The Province and Function of Law, the late Julius Stone sought to understand law according to the operation of particular societies. A prize of AU$50,000 will be awarded to the author or authors of the entry that, since 1 January 2006, has best advanced the sociological approach to jurisprudence pioneered by Julius Stone. The winner of the prize may also be invited to participate in the activities of the Julius Stone Institute for up to one semester and to deliver the prestigious Julius Stone Address.</p><p>Entries close on 30 June 2011. The winner will be announced in December 2011. Further information about both the prize and Stone's work is available on the Institute's website (www.sydney.edu.au/law/jurisprudence) and from its Director (kevin.walton@sydney.edu.au).</p>
