Over the years, PLSC has honored outstanding scholarship with three different awards. From 2011-2019, the International Association of Privacy Professionals sponsored an award for the best scholarship bridging the silos of theory and practice. But PLSC severed its relationship with IAPP to maintain independence. Starting in 2015, PLSC honored excellent scholarship by junior scholars with a separate designation. In 2019, that award was renamed the Reidenberg-Kerr Award in memory of our late colleagues, Joel R. Reidenberg and Ian Kerr. And starting in 2024, PLSC added an overall Best Paper Award that honors excellent scholarship from any PLSC participant.
