Criminal Justice Institute
The Pace Criminal Justice Institute generates educational opportunities for students at the Elisabeth Haub School of Law and promotes interdisciplinary collaboration between scholars, policymakers and practitioners in and outside the Pace Community. Through lectures, colloquia and hands-on learning opportunities, we foster an environment that supports and encourages creative research, teaching, and discussion concerning the theory and practice of Criminal Law.
A Rich Learning Experience
Criminal procedure law governs the criminal justice system and explores how society implements its norms of fairness by applying Constitutional requirements to state and federal systems for investigating and adjudicating crime. Haub Law offers a variety of academic courses and settings which provide a well-rounded examination of this legal area.
