handle is hein.journals/jspcth48 and id is 1 raw text is: Introduction Timothy S. Huebner The mission of the Supreme Court His- torical Society is to collect, preserve, and pro- mote the history of the Supreme Court of the United States. The Society carries out its mission not only by conducting educational programs for students and teachers, but also by presenting public programs and lectures, producing documentaries and books, and ac- quiring artifacts and documents of historical significance in cooperation with the Curator of the Supreme Court. The Journal, of course, plays an essen- tial role in carrying out the mission of the Society, as it serves as the only publication devoted exclusively to publishing the latest historical scholarship on the Court. It is a mission that our editorial board, Director of Publications Clare Cushman, and I take very seriously. Part of the Journal's longstanding purpose, moreover, has been to promote and publish the work of young scholars-the next generation of constitutional and Supreme Court historians. To that end, since 1995 the Society has bestowed the Hughes-Gossett Student Award upon an outstanding student paper submitted to the Journal. In addition to this award, I am proud to announce that our editorial board has de- cided to offer a research grant for early career scholars researching and writing about the history of the Court. Awarded on a competi- tive basis in June of each year, the $1,000 grant, named in memory of the distinguished scholar Henry J. Abraham, supports the re- search of those who are pursuing academic careers in legal history, including graduate students, law students, and those who are no more than five years from completion of either the Ph.D. or J.D. The award will be given on the basis of the applicant's potential for producing publishable work in the field of Supreme Court history, and the grant re- cipient will be expected to produce an article for submission to the Journal. Our board is very excited about this ongoing commitment to young scholars. If you know of someone who qualifies, please make that person aware of this opportunity! More information is available on the Society's website. This issue of the Journal highlights the work of young scholars. In case you haven't noticed, Prof. Brad Snyder's seminar on the Warren Court, which he has offered over the past few years at Georgetown University Law Center, has been the source of several papers of late, including last year's winner of the Hughes-Gossett Student Award.
