Law Publishers in Europe
Encyclopedia
Law Publishers in Europe (LPE) came into being in 1983 on the initiative of some of the best known European law publishers. Today, it has 12 members.
In 2009, LPE have written out the Franz Stein Memorial Award dedicated to the memory of bookseller and publisher Franz Stein (1944–2005). Being endowed with € 6,000, the award aims at European law
students and is assigned to the best essay in a biennial competition. It postulates an original manuscript
consisting of 8,000 words maximum. An independent jury chooses the winning essay which will be granted publication in one of LPE’s law journals. In 2009, the topic for the contending essays was "How Should the EU Ensure the Human Rights Conformity of Targeted Sanctions its Member States have to Implement Pursuant to UN Security Council Resolutions?". In 2009, Katherine Lim (United Kingdom) and Gerhard Holley (Austria) shared the award.
For 2011, the topic was "The New Common Commercial Policy: Who has the power to conclude investment protection treaties post-Lisbon? – The EU and/or its member states". The award was bestowed to Viktoriya Petrikova (Bulgaria).
