Maayan Sudai, an S.J.D. candidate at Harvard Law School, has been awarded a prestigious scholarship from Israel’s Dan David Foundation to support her work examining health activism from a legal perspective.

It then presents prizes to accomplished laureates, and scholarships to graduate and postgraduate students, in the year’s chosen fields.
