Winners of the Dukeminier Awards for the best law review articles on sexual orientation and gender identity topics in 2007 will discuss their work and emerging themes in LGBT scholarship. Winners are selected by a rigorous process involving faculty at the UCLA Law School – Williams Institute on Sexual Orientation Law and Public Policy and a student editorial board. The board screens several hundred articles to identify the top forty, which are closely analyzed in a law school seminar. Seminar participants select ten finalists, and a committee of Williams faculty and students chooses the best three to five articles.
