Nominations now Open for the 2024 Student Deak Award

ILSA is now accepting nominations for the 2024 Student Deak Award. The Student Deak Award is sponsored by Oxford University Press for the best international law student article in a student-edited law journal. The award honors Francis Deak, a WWII veteran who wrote extensively on international law. The award is the student equivalent of the prize separately awarded by the American Journal of International Law to a younger author for meritorious scholarship in the prior year’s volume of the Journal.

Students, professors, practitioners or other persons in the legal community may nominate students for the Deak Award. A student may even nominate his own article.

Per award rules, the nominee must have been a student at the time the article was written, and the article must have been published in a student-edited journal during the award year (2023). All nominations satisfying these criteria will be considered by the awards committee who will choose the winning submission. Nominations should be submitted to [email protected] by 15 January 2024. All nominations must include the article citation and article in PDF format along with the name and email address of the author.

The award will be presented at the American Society of International Law’s 2024 Annual Meeting which will be held in Washington, DC in early April.

Any questions about the award may be directed to [email protected].
