National Environmental Law Moot Court Competition
The National Environmental Law Moot Court Competition, administered by students on the Environmental Moot Court Board, is the largest moot in the United States held under one roof.  Nearly 300 students representing around 70 law schools across the country participate in the Competition each year. The problem always involves timely issues of national importance to the practice of environmental law. Past topics have ranged from illegal dumping to the criminal liability of corporate officers for environmental violations by their corporation. Students write and file their briefs for one of the respective parties' legal positions in November and come to the Pace Campus in White Plains, New York in February for the oral argument phase of the Competition. 

The Competition gives Pace students the opportunity to meet fellow students from around the country, the experience of organizing a major national event, and the ability to observe the competitors and learn how to present effective oral arguments.

Pace Environmental Law Review
Established in 1983, the Pace Environmental Law Review (PELR) was one of the first scholarly journals established in the then new field of environmental law. Edited by J.D. candidates, PELR provides Pace students with a challenging opportunity to develop scholarly commentary and analysis of environmental law issues. This Law Review provides peer review of legal research alike by students, faculty or members of the bar and bench. PELR's rigorous training in legal research, writing and editing is an important enrichment of Pace’s J.D. curriculum, while serving as a forum for the publication of original legal research by Pace J.D. and LL.M. candidates. Service on law reviews such as PELR is considered a valuable credential by law firms and government agencies alike, when interviewing to hire new lawyers.

Pace Environmental Law Society
The Pace Environmental Law Society began in 1978 and continues as one of the most active and largest of the student organizations at Pace School of Law. Directed entirely by J.D. students, the ELS is structured around several committees, centering on issues of interest to the members. These range from auditing the University's environmental practices to Bronx River cleanup work to attending state bar conventions to hosting Pace’s annual festive Earth Day celebration. ELS organizes an annual networking dinner, at which students meet environmental lawyers informally for mentoring and to discuss employment opportunities in environmental law. ELS members have engaged in research and policy advocacy through letter writing campaigns on such issues as logging in federal park lands, funding for state environmental agencies, and protection of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge from oil drilling. Each year the ELS sponsors speakers and programs with professors, environmental activists, and government officials.

Brazil Program
Pace's Comparative Environmental Law course gives students hands-on experience comparing the environmental regimes of the United States and Brazil . This class, offered each spring, studies the respective environmental regimes of the United States and Brazil and aims to build students' capacity to assess environmental laws and national policies concerning environmental quality. At the end of the semester the students travel to Brazil where classes continue and include seminars conducted by prominent Brazilian scholars and attorneys. Students also take field trips to view fragile, yet crucial, ecosystems of Brazil .
