Pace Environmental Law Alumni Association
The Pace Environmental Law Alumni Association (PELAA) is comprised of graduates of the Elisabeth Haub School of Law who are practicing in the field of environmental law and/or who obtained a Certificate of Study in Environmental Law or an LLM in Environmental Law.
PELAA'S Mission
The purpose of PELAA is threefold: (1) to encourage, facilitate, and maintain meaningful connections between the Elisabeth Haub School of Law and its environmental program graduates; (2) to further the renown of the environmental law program at Elisabeth Haub School of Law; and (3) to lend career assistance and provide advice to the Law School's environmental students and graduates pursuing careers in environmental law. Our Environmental Law alumni believe that the school's strong environmental community and history of mentorship sets Haub Law apart from all other environmental programs. PELAA members can connect prospective students with alumni practicing environmental law. We encourage prospective students to reach out via the email addresses below.
To achieve its purpose, PELAA undertakes and participates in Elisabeth Haub School of Law and alumni events by, among other activities, hosting environmental alumni gatherings, mentoring environmental students, assisting in the promotion of the National Environmental Law Moot Court Competition held at the law school each February, and bestowing the Nicholas A. Robinson Award for Distinguished Environmental Achievement upon deserving alumni.
