Henry J. Friendly Medal

The Henry J. Friendly Medal is an award given periodically by the American Law Institute (ALI) in recognition of outstanding contributions to the field of law.[1][2] It is named in honor of Judge Henry Friendly of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.[3][4] The medal is conferred to an individual for their contributions "in the tradition of Judge Friendly."[5]

The award is reserved to some of the most influential modern jurists, including Judge Merrick Garland, and U.S. Supreme Court Justices Anthony Kennedy, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and John Roberts.[6] It is the most prestigious award given by the ALI.[7]
