"The Meese Prize for Excellence in Originalist Scholarship," Nominations Due May 15

This is a straightforward announcement of a legal scholarship prize with minimal editorial framing. The article presents Federalist Society and originalism without critical context or counter-framing, which implicitly normalizes originalism as a legitimate scholarly field deserving institutional recognition. Language is neutral and factual (dates, eligibility, process), but the absence of any mention of originalism's critics or competing constitutional schools subtly privileges this methodological approach as uncontroversial.

Primary voices: think tank or advocacy organization, academic or expert

• This article does not address criticisms of originalism or competing approaches to constitutional interpretation
