Monash Law Emeritus Professor HP Lee Student's Publication Prize

The Emeritus Professor HP Lee Student’s Publication Prize celebrates the most outstanding research publication produced by a Monash Law student each year. Named in honour of Emeritus Professor Hoong Phun Lee, an esteemed constitutional law scholar and long-serving member of the Monash Law community, the prize recognises scholarly work that demonstrates originality, rigour, and impact.

Eligible publications must be authored by students enrolled in any Monash Law degree program and must meet the standards of the Australian Government’s Higher Education Research Data Collection (HERDC). Works may include scholarly books, book chapters, or fully refereed journal articles, and must be included in the Faculty’s annual Research Publication Collection.

This prize reflects Monash Law’s commitment to nurturing research excellence and supporting students who contribute meaningfully to legal scholarship. It also honours the legacy of Professor Lee, whose dedication to legal education continues to inspire generations of researchers.

Each year, a selection committee reviews eligible publications and awards the prize to the student whose work best advances legal knowledge. Past winners have explored diverse and timely topics, contributing to national and international legal discourse.
