Professor Howard Erlanger was formally recognized at the Law and Society Association's May conference in Vancouver on the occasion of his 20th year serving as review editor for the journal Law and Social Inquiry [LSI]. Editor Laura Beth Nielsen, in presenting Erlanger with a commemorative plaque, commented, "Howie has tirelessly worked with the Editors of LSI producing what I believe are the best review essays in the field. In doing so, Howie has generously supported burgeoning careers by making graduate students into authors, he has patiently waited on and cajoled tardy authors (we won't mention any names!!) and has made himself invaluable to LSI and Law and Society as a whole. "To commemorate the occasion, we did a modest empirical analysis of his years as editor. So this plaque says, ?Authors published: 407, Review essays edited: 390, Editors tolerated: 30, Issues saved by publishing only review essays: 1, Contribution to LSI and to the field of Law & Society: Immeasurable.' "
