Lynde and Harry Bradley Student Fellowships
Application Memo for 2013-14 Bradley Student Fellowships. Deadline is July 1. Apply online.
The Bradley Foundation has generously supplied a fund for a limited number of fellowships designed to support its own academic mission. That mission rests on the presupposition that responsible self government depends not only on intelligent laws, but also on the creation of a civic environment that encourages enlightened citizens to participate in a discussion of controversial issues. Consistent with these ideals, the Foundation also hopes that students will work and study in areas that explore the role of limited government in a legal regime that fosters a dynamic marketplace for economic, intellectual and cultural activity, both in the United States and abroad.
The 2012-13 Bradley Student Fellows are Joshua Phares Ackerman, Samuel Eckman, Taylor A. R. Meehan, Brett R. Nolan, and Graham Safty.

The award is made by the Dean of the Law School on the basis of recommendations from the editors of the Journal of Law and Economics and the Journal of Legal Studies. The winners of the prize for 2007-8 are David Abrams and Albert H. Yoon.
John M. Olin Prize in Law and Economics
Established in 1986, this award is given to the outstanding graduating law student in law and economics in the opinion of the Law and Economics Faculty.

The winner of the Prize in 2012 was Benjamin M. Flowers.
