With the support of Chadbourne & Parke LLP, the Jackson Award, is North America's premier competition dedicated to the recognition of outstanding student works addressing topics of international or comparative law.

Each year the Society invites select journals to submit one piece of published student scholarship addressing of topic of international or comparative law.
