Founded in
1976 and located in White Plains, New York, about 30 minutes from New York
City, Pace University School of Law offers both a full‑time (three year)

entire first‑year curriculum. Legal research, analysis and writing skills
are taught by integrating them into the basic criminal law course. Federal
Income Taxation is an upper‑level required course and there is an upper‑level
writing requirement. Approximately 55 elective courses are offered each
semester, allowing students to build their own program of legal study on the
foundation of basic legal principles andÂskills, sampling from a variety of areas, or focusing in an areaÂof particular interest. J.D. candidates may
earn certificatesÂdemonstrating their
proficiency in two specialized areas of law:ÂEnvironmental Law andÂInternational Law. In addition, J.D. students may enroll in joint degree
programs with the Pace University Lubin School of BusinessÂ(M.B.A.), the Department of Public

Health (J.D./M.P.H.), and Sarah Lawrence College ‑ Master of Arts in
Women's History (J.D./M.W.S.).
The LL.M.
program in Environmental Law is designed to meet the needs of practicing
lawyers seeking a greater depth of knowledge in this expanding field.
Enrollment in the LL.M. program averages ten students per year, on either a
full‑time or part‑timeÂbasis.
The LL.M. in
Comparative Legal Studies is designed for students who have a law degree from a
foreign law institution.
