Brendan Lim ’13 J.S.D. Awarded John Addison Porter Prize

The John Addison Porter Prize was established in 1872 by the Kingsley Trust Association — the Scroll and Key Society — in honor of Professor John Addison Porter, who received a bachelor’s degree from Yale in 1842. It is awarded for “a work of scholarship in any field where it is possible, through original effort, to gather and relate facts or principles or both and to make the product of general human interest.”

One of this year’s graduate and professional student recipients was Brendan Lim ’13 J.S.D. for his dissertation “Crisis and the Canon: Australia's Constitution after Whitlam.”

The winners of the John Addison Porter Prize for 2014 were announced on Commencement day.
