The award is given in any of the following categories:
Reynoso is the inaugural holder of the law school's Boochever and Bird Chair for the Study and Teaching of Freedom and Equality. The chair recognizes outstanding scholarship and teaching, along with a commitment to preserving and expanding the understanding of "the virtues necessary of a great republic."
Reynoso was an associate justice on the California Supreme Court from 1982-87. He was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2000.

Remarking on Reynoso's many achievements, Dean Rex Perschbacher said, "He is nothing less than a civil-rights icon. His record of devotion to public service in the grand tradition of the University of California makes us proud. Nothing less than a national treasure, Professor Reynoso is richly deserving of the Chancellor's Achievement Award for Diversity and Community.”
