The fifth meeting of the Environmental Law Collaborative took place in Colorado Springs in July. During the conference, environmental law scholars from around the country met to discuss "Facing the Worst Climate Case: The Role of Law." The Environmental Law Collaborative (ELC) seeks to foster progress toward an adaptive, conscious, and equitable governance of actions that impact local and global ecologies by engaging the contemporary discourse. The ELC facilitates dialogue among thought leaders on sustainable policy priorities, practical implementation strategies, assessment mechanisms, and cooperative analysis of science, economics, and ethics.

The Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University was a co-sponsor of the fifth meeting of the ELC. Attending the recent ELC meeting from Haub Law were Professors Katrina Fischer Kuh and Josh Galperin. Professor Kuh is a board member of the ELC.

Making A Murderer Was True Crime Gold – But What Was The Unseen Cost Of…

Cindy Kanusher, Executive Director of the Pace Women’s Justice Center, is featured in a Metro UK article examining the cultural impact of Making a Murderer—and the often-overlooked human cost of true crime storytelling. In the piece, Kanusher underscores the responsibility filmmakers and audiences share to center victims and survivors, particularly in cases involving gender-based violence, and to resist narratives that sensationalize trauma or erase lived experience. Her perspective highlights how true crime can do more than entertain—it can educate, foster empathy, and promote accountability—if it is framed responsibly.
