Access to Justice Project
Bridging the Access to Justice Gap
The Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University is deeply committed to working to advance racial and social justice in the United States and around the world. Spurred by a climate of injustice, in 2020 Haub Law established the Pace Access to Justice (Pace A2J) Project to recommit itself to ensuring that students, faculty and staff would use its training, energy, and resources to effect change in the way that law is taught, learned, and applied to promote social justice. Building upon the longstanding work of our clinics and externships, we expanded our reach through innovative curriculum and training, faculty and student activities, and partnerships in the community to address the access to justice gap from multiple angles.
Housed and coordinated within Haub Law’s Public Interest Law Center, Pace A2J serves as a hub for community collaborations, programs, scholarship, policy initiatives, and hands-on innovative academic and non-credit bearing experiential law student and alumni opportunities. Together, Pace A2J is designed to more actively engage students in learning about and contributing to real-world efforts to address the access to justice gap.
