Leadership Awards Dinner
The Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University inaugurated its Distinguished Service Award in 1995 to honor individuals or organizations that have made outstanding to the legal community, the Law School, or the practice of law. In 2021, the Elisabeth Haub School of Law established the first Annual Rising Star Award, recognizing excellence in practice among alumni in the first 15 years after graduation. In 2022, the Haub Impact Award was established to recognize individuals who have made a lasting impact on the Haub Law community.
The Law School's Annual Law Leadership Awards Dinner provides the setting for the presentation of these awards to distinguished members of the legal community. Through sponsorships and a journal produced especially for the event, funds are raised that help to underwrite the Law School's outstanding academic programs, faculty and students.
