Trucios-Haynes was the inaugural recipient of the Daniel M. Alvarez Champion for Justice Award, named in memory of the late Danny Alvarez.
“This new award memorializes a beloved colleague who devoted a great deal of time and energy to speaking on behalf of those without a voice,” said LBA President Dean Furman. “We are happy to recognize as the first recipient Professor Trucios-Haynes who has advocated for many of the same causes.”
An expert in immigration law, Trucios-Haynes is co-director and co-founder of the law school's Human Rights Advocacy Program and travels regularly to the Boone County Jail, Kentucky’s only immigration detention center, to conduct “Know Your Rights” presentations for detainees.
