Robert S. Tucker Prize for Prosecutorial Excellence
The Robert S. Tucker Prize for Prosecutorial Excellence is awarded annually to an individual or a group of individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the field of criminal prosecution and who demonstrate excellence in prosecutorial practice. Honorees are selected each year by a jury comprised of law professors, criminal justice leaders, and former prosecutors. The award ceremony brings together local and state prosecutors, members of the judiciary, civic and government leaders, and the Pace Haub Law community to recognize these distinguished individuals for their work. The prize is made possible by the generous support of distinguished alumnus Robert S. Tucker '96, a former member of Pace University Board of Trustees.
