Earth Day features celebrations at Pace. Each April, the student leaders of the Pace Environmental Law Society organize a festive spring event, attended by regional conservation leaders, students, faculty and friends. Music, games, a picnic, fund-raising for Pace Public Interest Law Scholarships and a day of good cheer celebrate the public's commitment in 1970 to strengthening environmental protection. Pace observes World Environment Day each June. The United Nations established this day to provide a common world-wide observance of the need to do more to protect the Earth.
Pace uses the day to honor the life work of leading citizen environmentalists.
Among those honored were Edith Read, a leading Westchester conservationist, and Robert Boyle, effective advocate for restoring and protecting the Hudson River. In addition to these events, the Pace Environmental Law Review holds its annual colloquium on an important environmental issue. The Environmental Law Society holds events throughout the school year, including brown-bag lunches, and frequent presentations by LL.M. students on scholarly topics.
