Almudena Bernabeu, international attorney and director of Transitional Justice Program for the San Francisco-based Center for Justice and Accountability, was awarded the Katherine and George Alexander Law Prize from Santa Clara University School of Law on Wednesday at the university’s Harrington Learning Commons. Bernabeu was honored for work as a human rights lawyer, most notably as lead private prosecutor representing survivors of Guatemalan genocide, including Nobel laureate Rigoberta Menchu Tum, and against the Salvadoran officials alleged to be behind the massacre of six Jesuit priests, their housekeeper and her teenage daughter in 1989.
