Congrats to Rabia Belt and Greg Ablavsky!!!!

Winners of the Kathryn T. Preyer Scholar Award, a very big deal in legal history circles!

I met Rabia (JD/PhD from Michigan — Go Blue twice) when she audited my Federal Indian Law class in the winter of 2011. I strongly recommend all her work, but my favorite is the paper on madness. 🙂

I met Greg through his American Indian legal history work (here, here and here), some of which he workshopped a few summers back at Angela Riley’s wonderful UCLA junior scholars workshop.
