The first in her family to go to law school and pursue a post-graduate degree, Jessica-Taylor Leaman ’24 grew up in Toronto, Canada with her parents and grandparents. Intrigued with the law from an early age, Jessica forged her path to law school by majoring in criminal justice in undergraduate school. “Before I began at Haub Law, I was sure that I wanted to be a criminal defense attorney. However, upon completing my first year, I decided that it wasn’t for me, and I found a new interest in tort and property law.”
Jessica describes her entire experience at Haub Law so far as “welcoming.” “Everyone has been so kind and helpful. The transition as an international student can be especially challenging and the upper year students have truly made my journey here smooth and positive. The professors have been amazing, Professors Mushlin and Czarnezki especially! They truly know how to get the most out of their students. Professor Czarnezki made us laugh each class, and Professor Mushlin reinforced the main concepts every chance he had.”
To further her decision to have a well-rounded law school experience, Jessica is also the representative for the Corporate and Commercial Law Society. “My dream is to work at a firm surrounded by excellent attorneys who will ensure that I never stop learning about the law. As I go through school, I will find my niche but as of now, I am keeping an open mind and embracing whatever opportunities present themselves with open arms.” Jessica is currently completing a summer internship with Bell Temple LLP in Toronto, Canada and is thoroughly enjoying the hands-on learning experience.
In her spare time, Jessica enjoys staying active and focusing on her other passion: dance. She was a competitive dancer until she was 18 and continued as a teacher and choreographer until the summer before her 1L year. “Dance has always been a passion of mine and I like to think that my training has shaped me into a hard working individual who will make a great lawyer.”
As far as advice for future law students, Jessica has two words: stay organized. “There are numerous meetings and networking opportunities that happen on and off campus and it is important to schedule everything in so that you can take advantage of all the opportunities that Haub Law has to offer.”

And I’ve written before about how it’s getting worse. May is National Mental Health Awareness Month, and before the month ends it’s time for us all to commit to giving our students the support and resources they need.

The Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University hosted a Health Law and Policy Summit bringing together healthcare professionals and lawyers to discuss key legal issues for operations and transactions and for the delivery of healthcare in today’s changing landscape. Co-sponsored by Pace University’s College of Health Professions and the Westchester County Association, the event offered NYS Attorney CLE credit and included two thoughtful panel discussions led by Haub Law faculty who teach in the Law School’s Advanced Certificate in Health Law and Policy. The certificate program was recently expanded to include a new part-time, fully online credential designed for working lawyers, as well as health care professionals and administrators who require legal and policy knowledge to adapt to changes in the industry and is scheduled to launch in Fall 2022.
“Regulatory and compliance matters, health equity and environmental health issues, all influence how healthcare organizations go about their work, and how their attorneys advise them,” said Dean Horace Anderson Jr., Dean of Haub Law during his welcome remarks. “The Health Law and Policy Summit provides a glimpse into the current issues impacting the healthcare industry which are a focus of our Advanced Certificate in Health Law and Policy program.”
Moderated by Professor James Toomey, a Climenko Fellow and Lecturer on Law at Harvard Law School who will join the Haub Law faculty as an Assistant Professor in the coming year, the panels examined how healthcare organizations can meet their current responsibilities, prepare for public health challenges, and seek more equitable health policies. Panelists explored the lifecycle of a business transaction and legal implications for lawyers and professionals working in the field as well as patient care, including lack of access to care, long-term care workforce issues, and end-of-life rules.
The Health Law and Policy Summit panelists included Barbara Atwell, Haub Law Associate Professor; Lauren Breslow, philanthropic consultant and Haub Law Adjunct Professor; Margaret M. Flint, Haub Law Professor of Law Emerita; Linda Martin, Chief Compliance Officer at CareOne and Haub Law Adjunct Professor; Steven Chananie, Special Counsel, Sheppard Mullin and Haub Law Adjunct Professor, and Dale C. Van Demark, a partner at McDermott Will & Emery and Adjunct Professor at Haub Law.

As a student who strives for excellence, Lienhard School of Nursing student Samuel Silva Ortiz is proud to be the first member of his family to graduate from a university in the United States.
His accomplishments have been a great source of pride for his family. So much that his aunt traveled all the way from Colombia to watch him receive awards for Outstanding Academic Achievement in Undergraduate Nursing and achieving Latin Honors Summa Cum Laude at the College of Health Profession’s Award Ceremony in Pleasantville. “I am beyond proud of Samuel,” said Samuel’s Aunt Martha. “He is the first in our family to earn a bachelor’s degree in nursing. I have seen him work tirelessly to get to this point and can't wait to see what he accomplishes next!” Her hope is that Samuel will continue his education and focus on addressing healthcare issues that affect the Hispanic community.
To honor his parents and the sacrifices they made for their family, Samuel decorated his graduation cap with the statement, “Product of the American Dream.” His parents both immigrated from Colombia, working hard to build futures for themselves and their children. “My success is also my parents’ success,” said Samuel. “I want to inspire my younger siblings and others to pursue their goals and trust that the American Dream is alive and well!”
My success is also my parents’ success. I want to inspire my younger siblings and others to pursue their goals and trust that the American Dream is alive and well!

Samuel’s goal is to become an acute care nurse practitioner and acknowledges his family was his motivation to succeed. “I am dedicated to being a nurse and I'm so grateful to my wonderful family, classmates, and professors for supporting me throughout my academic journey,” said Samuel. “It has been amazing to be able to share this moment with them.”
