Our Commitment to Your Wellbeing
The Elisabeth Haub School of Law is committed to fostering a healthy environment on our campus where the well-being of our students, faculty, staff, and the entire law school community is a priority. We are committed to assisting the law school community to thrive professionally and personally. In turn, we support well-being initiatives that help to achieve these goals. The Office of Student and Campus Affairs oversees a wide range of programming and activities incorporating the eight pillars of wellness: mental and emotional, social, intellectual, financial, spiritual, physical, occupational, and environmental. We are proud to be a signatory to the American Bar Association’s Pledge Campaign (PDF) to improve mental health and well-being of lawyers.

Recognizing that high levels of problematic substance use and mental health distress present a significant challenge for the legal community, and acknowledging that more can and should be done to improve their health and well-being, we, the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University, hereby pledge our support for this innovative campaign and will work to adopt and prioritize its framework for building a better future.
