List of legal awards
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This list of legal awards is an index to articles related to notable awards for work related to the law, a system of rules that are created and enforced through social or governmental institutions to regulate conduct.[1] The list is organized by country, since contributions are typically to the law of a country rather than to international law, and are made by citizens of that country.
This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by editing the page to add missing items, with references to reliable sources.
