The Alan Watson
Foundation (AWF), founded in 2005, is a nonprofit scholarly organization
established by the University of Belgrade in honor of Alan Watson who is
Distinguished Research Professor and Ernest P. Rogers Chair of Law at the
University of Georgia School of Law, and doctor honoris causa of the
University of Belgrade.
Our fundamental mission
is to encourage and disseminate a multidisciplinary understanding of law,
and foster scholarship broadly focusing on the correlation between law
and society. By gathering around the international scientific community
devoted to research of law in its social context, AWF is dedicated to the
development of comparative law and legal history via developing
international cooperation in these fields, publishing electronic
publications, information dissemination and other activities.
Our mission is also to
inspire and reward the achievements of our students. Since 2005, gifted students have earned the Alan
Watson Prize for their contributions in the understanding of legal
transplants and the diffusion of law in specific historical contexts.
The Foundation is led by President
Prof. Sima Avramović,
renowned professor of legal history and Roman law, comparative law, and
rhetoric at the University of Belgrade Faculty of Law.
