The 2012 winner was Cynthia Nicoletti and the subject of her dissertation:

“The Great Question of War: The Legal Status of Secession in the Aftermath of the American Civil War, 1865-1869,” University of Virginia.

This was the same issue that President Lincoln addressed in his July 4, 1861 Message to Congress. See the thread "Maryland constitutional questions after Fort Sumter."
