Gruber Justice Prize
The Gruber Justice Prize (for example Gruber Justice Prize , full name Justice Prize of the Peter and Patricia Gruber Foundation ) was an award given between 2001 and 2011 by the Peter and Patricia Gruber Foundation based on Saint Thomas . It was intended to give people (and organizations) recognition who had made a contribution to a just world within the legal system. ("The Justice Prize honors individuals who have advanced the cause of justice as delivered through the legal system.")
Like the other Gruber Awards , the award was endowed with 500,000 US dollars , which the winner could freely use. The award winners also received a gold medal engraved with their name and the work being recognized. The last award took place in 2011, then the award - like that of the Gruber Prize for Women's Rights - was discontinued. Instead, the foundation is involved in the Gruber Program for Global Justice and Women's Rights at Yale Law School .
