Description

The AP-LS Award for Distinguished Contributions to Psychology and Law honors one who has made distinguished theoretical, empirical and/or applied contributions to the field of psychology and law. This award will not be presented on a regular basis. Rather, it will be reserved for those individuals whose contributions are so unusual as to merit special commendation. This award is not exclusively for AP-LS members, and anyone who meets these criteria may be nominated for the award.

How to Apply

Nominations must include:

a copy of the nominee’s vita
a letter detailing the nominee’s distinguished contributions to psychology and law
names and addresses of four individuals who are familiar with the nominee’s work and who would be able to address the nominee’s contributions to the field of psychology and law (or additional letters from these four individuals)

Self-nominations will not be considered. Please send nominations in electronic PDF or Word format to the past president.
