2012 Katharine & George Alexander Law Prize Awarded to Almudena Bernabeu “Almudena Bernabeu is a lawyer who has distinguished herself by her selfless service to others through her prosecution of human rights abusers. She leads by example in her steadfast commitment to the rule of law and puts the vindication of her clients’ rights before her personal needs. At Santa Clara, our strong ties with the Jesuits in El Salvador make us especially grateful for Ms. Bernabeu’s work in bringing justice in the massacre of six Jesuit priests, their cook, and her daughter at the Universidad Centroamericana in 1989. With dedication and determination in a court of law, Ms. Bernabeu brings to light the truth of injustices around the world.” —Santa Clara University President Michael E. Engh, S.J. Above, Bernabeu stands with survivors of the Genocide in Guatemala. For more information, see law.scu.edu/alexanderprize.
