Prize Watch: more legal history

 Recently we were asking if legal historians were all the best historians these days, judging by the prizes they are bringing home.

Congratulations to C. Elizabeth Koester, winner of the Chalmers Prize, awarded to the best book in Ontario History by the Champlain Society. Note that Liz, a retired lawyer, is usually billed as a historian of medical and scientific history but is really a legal historian! In the Public Good: Eugenics and the Law in Ontario is published by Queens McGill UP.
