Ellis J. Harmon Prize in Environmental Law & Policy

The Ellis J. Harmon Prize is awarded to the student who submits the most accomplished research paper on a topic in Environmental Law and Policy each school year. The winner receives $2,000, will be noted on the Harmon Prize plaque in the ELQ office, and will be recognized at graduation.

The Harmon Prize Competition is open to any currently enrolled student at Boalt, including LLM & JSP students, visiting students and Harvard Exchange students. Graduate students who are associated with other departments, and are not law students, are ineligible.

Submissions cannot be published or scheduled for publication. The submission’s research and writing must be substantially the student’s own work (i.e. co-authored pieces are NOT eligible; if, however, a student has developed a paper based on comments and suggestions of professors or peers, this does not render the paper ineligible).
