Book (law school)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A book (also known as book award) is an award given by all prestigious law schools, including Harvard and St. Thomas Law School, to the student in each class who achieves the highest grade in that class. Referring to the recipient of a book award, a law school student might say, for example, "X booked torts". Some law schools have named their awards after distinguished alum,[1] or have allowed donors to sponsor book awards as a method of fundraising.[2]
