Robert Feenstra Prize

Tijdschrift voor Rechtsgeschiedenis / Revue d'histoire du droit / The Legal History Review has named a Prize in honour of Robert Feenstra, who was editor of the Tijdschrift during 63 years, from 1950 until shortly before his death in 2013.

The Robert Feenstra Prize is awarded every two years to the author of an excellent article on Western legal history, published in the period of three years preceding the award. Factors considered are quality of research, quality of style and expression, subject and novelty. The article will be expected to deal with an aspect of Western legal history, which includes law in Mediterranean countries since ancient times, and law of the European (colonial) expansion overseas.

The Legal History Review, inspired by E.M. Meijers, is a peer-reviewed journal and was founded in 1918 by a number of Dutch jurists, who set out to stimulate scholarly interest in legal history in their own country and also to provide a centre for international cooperation in the subject. This has gradually been achieved through the years. The Review had already become one of the leading internationally known periodicals in the field before 1940. Since 1950 when it emerged under Belgo-Dutch editorship its position strengthened. Much attention is paid not only to the common foundations of the western legal tradition but also to the special, frequently divergent development of national law in the various countries belonging to, or influenced by it. Modern and contemporary, as well as ancient and medieval history is considered. Roman law and its later development, as well as canon law, have always been particularly important; in addition the history of the English Common Law has been extensively studied.
