USC law professor Elyn Saks has just won a $500,000 MacArthur "Genius" Award (see here). Saks writes about a variety of issues at the intersection of law and mental health, including her own struggles with schizophrenia and psychosis. Here is a link to her recent book, The Center Cannot Hold: My Journey Through Madness.
I'm not aware of other law professors who have won this award, though people might want to list past recipients (assuming there are some) in the comments here.
