Elisabeth Haub School of Law Alumni Association

The purpose of the Law School Alumni Association is to promote the quality, values, and standards of excellence which are the hallmarks of a Haub Law education, to encourage and support alumni in their professional development, to encourage alumni to provide financial support for the missions of the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at ÄÐÅ®²Ù±ÆÊÓÆµÈí¼þ and the University and to present a positive public image of Pace, and to assist the Law School in its efforts to recruit students and place both students and alumni. The Board of Directors represents leaders in the alumni community who donate their time and expertise to these purposes as well as provide guidance to the Law School, its current students and alumni.

    Dear Fellow Alumni,

    The Board had another busy and very productive year. There remain many ways to become involved with our alumni association, and I encourage you to do so. Our meetings continue to be held in a hybrid format to encourage attendance by both board members and members of the greater alumni community who wish to attend. We have several committees that are continuously working on many projects and networking opportunities. As always, we encourage your participation and the sharing of your ideas and suggestions.

    The Alumni Association organized several networking opportunities for alumni this past year. This included a well-attended alumni mixer reception sponsored by and held at Jackson Lewis PC. This event included professional headshots for attendees, provided courtesy of the Alumni Association. Additionally, a networking reception was held in New York City in conjunction with the New York State Bar AssociationÄÐÅ®²Ù±ÆÊÓÆµÈí¼þ™s Annual Conference. Alumni from near and far reconnected for an evening of networking, lively conversation, and great company.

    This past year, the Alumni Association continued to seek out ways to support and connect with current law students. In the spirit of the holiday season and giving back to the community, the Alumni Association hosted a wrap party in December to help with the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at ÄÐÅ®²Ù±ÆÊÓÆµÈí¼þÄÐÅ®²Ù±ÆÊÓÆµÈí¼þ™s Student Bar AssociationÄÐÅ®²Ù±ÆÊÓÆµÈí¼þ™s toy drive. Additionally, members of the Board participated in the Out of the Darkness Campus Walk. During the Spring 2025 semester, the Board actively engaged with current law students by hosting a Right to Counsel Panel Discussion, providing students with the opportunity to learn from housing law practitioners about careers in the field. Additionally, the committee participated in several events throughout the semester, including the First Generation and PILSO networking events, to further strengthen connections with the student community. As has become a tradition, during finals week in December and in May, we provided Pace Haub Law students with a boost during finals time, with members of the Board serving the students coffee and donuts. We also welcomed our newest alumni at a graduate reception on campus and celebrated their achievements at commencement.

    Last year, we commemorated the passing of two of our long-term and most dedicated Board Members, The Honorable Sandra A. Forster ÄÐÅ®²Ù±ÆÊÓÆµÈí¼þ™79 and Adele Lerman Janow ÄÐÅ®²Ù±ÆÊÓÆµÈí¼þ™90, with the establishment of an Immediate Impact Memorial Scholarship. I am proud to report that the Scholarship was funded and awarded to current Pace Haub Law student Reese Frisch ÄÐÅ®²Ù±ÆÊÓÆµÈí¼þ™26 to honor the legacy of these two esteemed alumnae and make law school more accessible.

    We encourage you, members of our fellow alumni community, to continue to participate in our official LinkedIn group of the Alumni Association. The goal of this group remains to help Pace Haub Law alumni reconnect with or meet fellow alumni, easily access alumni events, provide or receive business referrals, learn about CLE classes, share and find career opportunities, and become more involved with the Alumni Association. This is also a place for you to share news and developments and generally stay better connected with our alumni from around the country and around the world. If you have not yet joined the group, I encourage you to do so.

    All of these accomplishments were made possible by your very dedicated Board members, officers and alumni volunteers. I thank them all for their dedication and interest in encouraging and supporting alumni in their professional development, assisting students and promoting our Law School. It has been an honor and pleasure to complete another term as Board President, and I look forward to all that is to come. Please let me know if you have any questions or would like to get involved in our Alumni Association. My email address is jparker3@law.pace.edu.

    I look forward to hearing from you!

    Best,
    Jacqueline A. Parker, Esq. ÄÐÅ®²Ù±ÆÊÓÆµÈí¼þ˜95
    President, Alumni AssociationÄÐÅ®²Ù±ÆÊÓÆµÈí¼þ™s Board of Directors
