Each year the American Bar Association and BNA invite law schools around the country to participate in the annual ABA/BNA Award for Excellence. The intent of the program is to honor superior academic performance and to encourage student interest in the field of Health Law. BNA and the ABA Health Law Sections are proud to present this award.
Each law school may select, using the Nomination Form for ABA-BNA Award for Excellence, up to three (3) second or third-year students with the highest grade point average or similar criteria in a basic health law course. If the school has separate day and evening programs, a separate set of awards will be offered for each program.
Schools may designate winner(s) on this site. Upon receipt of the designation, BNA will send the appropriate certificates for presentation by the school, or will mail them directly to the students.
The notice to each student will also include a list of ABA/BNA treatises in Health Law, from which the student may make one complimentary selection. Students are encouraged to request books from the web site.
Questions may be addressed to books@bna.com.
