This prize, awarded to a researcher in the social sciences, is one of the 11 prestigious Prix du Qu茅bec presented annually by the Quebec government to scientists in recognition of outstanding contributions to their field or in honour of a distinguished career.

They noted in particular his seminal book Legal Traditions of the World (Oxford University Press, 2000), as well as his most recent publication, On Common Law (2005).
