Who would you nominate?

As Eugene Volokh has observed, law professors are eligible to nominate would-be recipients of the Nobel Peace Prize. Fair enough. Law professors in the Jurisdynamics audience, who would you nominate?

I'll answer a slightly different question. Having examined the list of winners during the past half century -- which includes such luminaries as Martin Luther King, Jr., Mother Teresa, Jimmy Carter, and Nelson Mandela -- I'll name a Peace Prize recipient whose impact is perhaps deeper and subtler than that of any other. He's pictured at right. If you haven't a clue who he is, join the club. I suspect that a substantial majority of the faculty members at his university wouldn't recognize his name. But don't just join the club. Be sure to read more about Minnesota's unsung Nobel laureate.
