Our friend Todd Henderson has just received the Federalist Society's 2010 Paul M. Bator Award:
The Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy Studies established the Bator Award in memory of Paul M. Bator, who had been a professor at the University of Chicago Law School and Harvard Law School. Each year, the award is given to a young academic (under 40) who embodies Bator’s excellence in legal scholarship, commitment to teaching and concern for students, and who has made a significant public impact.
“He fits all the criteria well. He already is a first-rate scholar,” said Eugene Meyer, President of the Federalist Society. “We have senior and highly talented academics on the selection committee and they were impressed with his scholarship, and he has been very helpful to students in a variety of ways.” It also was well-noted that Henderson served in the military, Meyer added.
It's great to see the award go to a business law scholar and, especially, to one as fine as Todd. Congratulations!
