On Tuesday, the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University presented Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark and her office with the 2022 Robert S. Tucker Prize for Prosecutorial Excellence at an award ceremony.
“DA Clark’s push to crack down on gun crimes and gang violence has been matched only by her tireless efforts to achieve true criminal justice reform and fairness for residents of the Bronx,” said T&M Chairman and CEO Robert Tucker, the namesake for the award, in a statement issued by the law school. “She has fought for the rights of the mentally ill to ensure that the system seeks treatment whenever possible before jail. She has been a steadfast champion of ethics and integrity and has worked hard to give our prosecutors the resources and support they need to keep our city safe. We are so grateful to present her with this award as recognition of her extraordinary achievements in public service.”
