Leadership Awards Dinner

The Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University inaugurated its Leadership Award in 1995. The purpose of this accolade is to honor individuals or organizations that have made outstanding contributions to the legal community. 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, our faculty and students.
