Suzanne Kingston shortlisted for Birks Prize
The School congratulates one of its academics, Dr Suzanne Kingston, on her shortlisting, along with five other authors, for the 2012 Peter Birks Prize for Outstanding Legal Scholarship. The two annual prizes, awarded by the Society of Legal Scholars, recognise outstanding published books by legal scholars in the United Kingdom and Ireland in their early careers. Dr Kingston has been nominated for her book Greening EU Competition Law and Policy (Cambridge University Press, 2011) - an interdisciplinary treatment of the interaction between environmental protection and EU competition law and policy, which challenges the view that EU competition policy is a special case and puts forward practical proposals for achieving genuine integration of the two fields.
