Pace Delegation Strengthens and Expands Partnerships in India
A delegation from the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University spent February break in India, collaborating with OP Jindal Global University on an academic conference and a conclave with local ESG practitioners, and fostering collaborations with new academic institutions.
Taking part in the noteworthy trip were Haub Law School’s Dean Horace Anderson, Haub Law Professors Smita Narula, Katrina Fischer Kuh, Margot Pollans, Sasha Greenawalt, Adjunct Professor Rama Rao, Associate Director of Graduate Programs and International Affairs, Diana Ramirez, Associate Vice President, International Programs and Services at Pace University, Barry Stinson, and student Haub Scholar Hannah Dauray.
The visit was planned around a two-day conference on the Rule of Law and Environmental Justice that was jointly organized by Haub Law School and OP Jindal Global University’s Jindal Global Law School. The conference featured faculty and student panelists from both institutions and from King’s College London. On day two, Haub Law faculty members taught classes on Intellectual Property, Environmental Law in Action, and International Human Rights Law. The visit also featured a Business and Corporate Conclave on Corporate Governance and ESG that was jointly organized by Jindal and Pace.
