2003 Annual Report of the Court of Appeals
Branch
of the Historical Society of the
United States Courts in the Eighth Circuit
(from annual Board of Directors meeting, July 17, 2003)
The branch continues work on its primary project, a written history
of the Eighth Circuit. Author Jeffrey Morris has submitted a
newly shortened manuscript constituting a seventh draft.
When the draft is finalized, the branch will have the history
published by a university press. Some funding for this project
has been approved from the attorney admission fee fund, though
the branch is also doing some private fund raising.
Aracely Munoz Contreras is the recipient of the fourth annual
John F. Dillon Award for her paper, The Maquiladora Murders:
Eradicating Child Labor Beyond the Factory Walls. The Dillon
Award is a history essay contest at the University of Iowa
College of Law, co-sponsored by the Appeals branch and the
John F. Dillon Inn of Court of Davenport, Iowa. The purpose
of the essay competition is to encourage scholarship in areas
that include, but are not necessarily limited to, legal history.
