ADAM LEVITIN OF GEORGETOWN LAW SELECTED AS INAUGURAL WINNER OF JREG'S HAMILTON PRIZE FOR OUTSTANDING SCHOLARSHIP
The Yale Journal on Regulation is pleased to announce that Professor Adam J. Levitin, Associate Professor of Law at Georgetown Law School, has been named the inaugural winner of the Walton H. Hamilton Prize for Outstanding Scholarship. The annual prize, established in 2009, is awarded by the Executive Board of the Yale Journal on Regulation to the author of the article most likely to have a significant impact on the study and understanding of regulatory policy. In Hydraulic Regulation: Regulating Credit Markets Upstream, 26 YALE J. ON REG. 143 (2009), Professor Levitin analyzes the current shortcomings of consumer protection in financial services and proposes a novel approach that would permit states to engage in consumer-protection regulation of federally chartered banks.
Walton Hale Hamilton (1881-1958) was the Southmayd Professor Law at Yale Law School from 1928 to 1948. Though an economist by training and not a lawyer himself, Hamilton astutely applied the insights of institutional economics to critique legal formalism in such classic works as The Ancient Maxim Caveat Emptor, 40 YALE L.J. 1133 (1931), Affectation with a Public Interest, 39 YALE L.J. 1089 (1930), and The Path of Due Process of Law, 48 ETHICS 269 (1938). In the 1930s Hamilton was a frequent advisor on New Deal economic policy. He eventually left Yale to become a full-time deputy to Thurman Arnold at the new Antitrust Division of the Justice Department and thereafter, to join Arnold's newly created Washington, D.C. law firm, Arnold, Fortas & Porter.
