Maria Cuellar selected as 2026 Mark Kleiman Innovation for Public Policy awardee from the National Academies of Sciences

Congratulations to Maria for being recognized as the recipient of the Mark Kleiman Innovation for Public Policy award from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Committee on Law and Justice. Professor Kleiman was fond of novel, counterintuitive, and contrarian ideas – the type of work in which early career professionals are rarely encouraged to engage. In this spirit, the award is intended to identify scholars with innovative ideas for public policy.
