With the Council of Affiliates, Law is sponsoring a program called The Supreme Court in the 21st Century. In addition, Law is a secondary sponsor of a program titled Regulation of Content: Canada and the United States. The primary sponsor is the Committee on the Status of Women.

Persons eligible for the award include journalists, lawyers, judges, legisla- tors, scholars, and media or professional organizations that have made significant and substantial contributions to freedom of the press.

The person making the nominations is responsible for present- ing all relevant information. Additional information also may be compiled by members of the selection committee. The selection committee is composed of the three elect- ed officers of the division and the members of the divi- sion's Professional Freedom and Responsibility Commit- tee. Written nominations should be sent to PF&R committee chair, Prof. David Eshelman, Department of Communication, Central Missouri State University, War- rensburg, MO 64093.
