In light of her outstanding and inspiring achievements in the field of international dispute settlement, the Law & Practice of International Courts and Tribunals (LAPE) has named a Prize in honour of H.E. Rosalyn Higgins.
The Rosalyn Higgins Prize is an annual prize which awards EUR 1.000 of Brill book vouchers and a one-year LAPE subscription to the author of the best article on the law and practice of the International Court of Justice, either focusing solely on the ICJ or with the ICJ as one of the dispute settlement mechanisms under consideration. The winning article will also be published in LPICT and made freely available online for ninety days to maximize its dissemination.
Competition for the Prize is open to all: scholars as well as practitioners, junior as well as senior professionals. Submissions will be selected via a double-blind peer review process by a Prize Committee, including both co-Editors-in-Chief. (Past) Committee members: Prof. Pierre Bodeau-Livinec (former co-Editor-in-Chief), Prof. James Crawford, Prof. Laurence Boisson de Chazournes, Prof. Dire Tladi, Prof. Attila Tanzi, Judge Joan Donoghue (ICJ), Prof. Serena Forlati, Prof. Makane Moïse Mbengue, Judge Julia Sebutinde, Judge Bruno Simma, Prof. Nienke Grossman, Dr. Santiago Villalpando, Prof. Mathias Forteau, Ms Valérie Hugues and Judge Georg Nolte (ICJ), Judge Neeru Chadha (ITLOS), Prof. Giuseppe Nesi, Prof. Monica Pinto, Prof. August Reinisch, Prof. Mathias Forteau, Ms Valérie Hugues, Judge Georg Nolte, Judge Neeru Chadha, Prof. Giuseppe Nesi, Prof. Monica Pinto, Prof. August Reinisch, Prof. Yves Daudet, Prof. Chie Kojima and Prof. Campbell McLachlan.

To be considered, submissions should be between 8.500 and 10.000 words in length (footnotes included), not yet published or under review elsewhere. Further instructions for authors are available on the journal page.
