Award of James Barr Ames Prize

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The Faculty of the Harvard Law School have awarded the James Barr Ames Prize to the late Frederick William Maitland, formerly Downing Professor of the Laws of England in the University of Cambridge, England. The award was made while Mr. Maitland was still alive, but the decision of the judges did not reach England until after his death.

The prize, which was established in 1898 by Julian W. Mack LL.B. '87, consists of a sum of $400 and a bronze medal, and is awarded every four years for the most meritorious law book or legal essay written in the English language and published not less than one nor more than five years before the award.

The award was based on Mr. Maitland's three volumes of the "Year Book Series of the Selden Society."
