Colleagues describe Olivas as a prolific scholar who received the highest distinctions in the academic field. He was honored with the Triennial Award for Lifetime Service to Legal Education and the Law, the top award given by the Association of American Law Schools. “He was a legendary law professor of the highest order,” said Kevin R. Johnson, dean of the University of California, Davis School of Law. “He worked tirelessly to nurture and develop law professors of color and was a personal mentor, and cheerleader, for scores of them.”
Sandra Guerra Thompson said that, for someone who operated at a high level of intellect and academic productivity, Olivas managed to dedicate “an extraordinary amount of time helping other people in their careers.” Juan F. Vasquez, Jr., a board member of the Hispanic Bar Association of Houston and Adjunct Professor at the UH Law Center, said that Olivas was a man of stature that will be “sorely missed,” with a legacy that “will live on at the University of Houston Law Center and the local, regional, national, and international community.”
