Assistant Professor Cynthia Alkon has won the $5,000 award given annually by the Appalachian School of Law for the best legal article published by an ASL faculty member.
The article – “Reconciliation of Criminal Cases in Central Asia: A Sign of Restorative Justice, Reform or Cause for Concern?” – appeared last year in the Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal.
Alkon is a graduate of San Francisco State University and the University of California-Hastings law school and also holds a masters of law degree in dispute resolution from the University of Missouri.
Before joining the ASL faculty, she worked as a deputy public defender in California and in Eastern Europe for organizations providing assistance in criminal justice reform in countries there.
The ASL faculty created the award in 2005 to reinforce the school’s commitment to producing quality legal scholarship.
