Created by legal publisher LexisNexus in 1984, the Centenary Book Award encourages and rewards the highest standards of authorship in legal publishing, and recognises works that enable practitioners, academics or students to be better informed.
Mark won the Award for his impressive work The Contract of Employment, published in 2012.
