Bruce Ackerman, Sterling Professor of Law and Political Science at Yale Law School, received the Insignia of Commander of the French Order of Merit from the Republic of France at a ceremony at Yale Law School on March 1.
The award was presented by Madame Noelle Lenoir, France's Minister for European Affairs in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
It's well-deserved.
UPDATE: D'oh! It's actually a guest comment at Gary Silberberg's blog. Sorry. No Order of Merit for me!
