Philip Frickey elected to the American Academy of Arts & Sciences
Professor Philip Frickey has been selected to become a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He will receive this prestigious honor for his pre-eminent scholarly research in the fields of statutory interpretation, federal Indian law and constitutional law. Frickey is part of a select class of 177 fellows, including a U.S. senator, three Nobel Prize winners and six Pulitzer Prize winners. He is one of seven newly elected UC Berkeley faculty members.
The academy was founded by John Adams and other scholar-patriots in 1780 "to cultivate every art and science which may tend to advance the interest, honor, dignity and happiness of a free, independent and virtuous people." Its members conduct nonpartisan studies on issues ranging from international security, social policy and education to the humanities.
The new fellows will be inducted at a ceremony at the academy's headquarters in Cambridge, Mass., on Oct. 5, 2002. For a complete list of the 2002 fellows, visit www.amacad.org/.
