Global Jurist is pleased to announce the winners of the 2007 Global Jurist Medals. These medals are awarded to the best submissions from scholars in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and beyond.

The articles considered for the prize were related to:
- Law and Economics
- Law and Finance
- Law and Society
- Law and Anthropology
- Law and International Relations
- The Law of International Financial Institutions
The Medals are sponsored by the International University College of Turin (IUC), a new academic institution preparing an international class of lawyers and finance experts, endowed with a highly integrated background in Law, Economics and Finance.
IUC shares many of the aims of Global Jurist, in particular the idea that legal issues should be discussed outside of the narrow limits imposed by positivism, parochialism, ethnocentrism, imperialism, and chauvinism in the law, in order to develop a truly international community of legal scholars. Accordingly, a thorough and critical knowledge of institutional context is a key factor for any comparative or transnational endeavour.
These aims are reflected in the IUC’s two year program in Comparative Law Economics and Finance, open to students coming from all over the world that have completed three years of academic education and are proficient in English. We encourage you to visit the IUC website for further information. In line with its aims, IUC began this collaboration with Global Jurist to award those scholars providing the most original contribution concerning current developments in global capitalism.
We are also proud to announce that due to the great success of the first edition, we are currently organizing the second edition of the Global Jurist Medals. Further information will follow when competition will open again.
With all our best regards,
Ugo Mattei and Alberto Monti
