The 2020 ALL-SIS Frederick Charles Hicks Award for Outstanding Contributions to Academic Law Librarianship is awarded to Professor Richard Leiter. Those who nominated him cited his service, scholarship, and podcast (Law Librarian Conversations), as well as his "spectacular ability to bring people together to learn, develop and dissect the core values and vision of what it means to be a great law librarian. Since 2000, the annual Frederick Charles Hicks Award for Outstanding Contributions to Academic Law Librarianship has recognized an individual or group who has made outstanding contributions to academic law librarianship through continued efforts to improve law librarianship. The award is named in honor of Frederick Charles Hicks, the first great American law librarian/scholar who was also the first academic law librarian to serve as president of AALL.
