The Wedderburn Prize is named in honour of Lord Wedderburn of Charlton, who served as General Editor of the Review from 1971 to 1988. It is awarded annually for a contribution to that year’s volume which in the opinion of the Editorial Committee is exemplary of the type of scholarship that the Modern Law Review aims to promote. In awarding this Prize, the Committee pays particular attention to the work of authors who are at a relatively early stage of their careers.
The Wedderburn Prize is awarded annually at the Chorley Lecture and Dinner in June. The winner of the 2018 Wedderburn Prize is Dylan Lino for his article ‘The Rule of Law and the Rule of Empire: A.V. Dicey in Imperial Context’
