The Robert Strauss Center and Ohio Northern University’s Pettit College of Law are excited to announce that Laura Dickinson, Oswald Symister Colclough Research Professor of Law and Professor of Law at The George Washington University Law School, is the winner of the 2021 Mike Lewis Prize for National Security Law Scholarship.

Professor Dickinson’s article, National Security Policymaking in the Shadow of International Law, was published in George Washington University Law School’s Legal Studies Research Paper Series. For her outstanding work advancing the study of national security law, Professor Dickinson is awarded $1000, thanks to generous donations to the Mike Lewis Prize Fund (please see the Mike Lewis Prize page here for more information on donating to the fund and the nomination process).

The Mike Lewis Prize was established in 2017 by the Robert Strauss Center and Ohio Northern University’s Pettit College of Law (ONU), in consultation with the American Association of Law Schools (AALS) Section on National Security Law. The prize honors Professor Mike Lewis of ONU, a much-loved colleague and prolific scholar who passed away in 2015.
