Pace University School of Law provides an active placement program. The Career Development Office administers a Fall on-campus interview program and maintains listings of available job opportunities for both J.D. and Environmental LL.M. candidates. The Pace Environmental Law Society hosts a mentoring dinner to introduce all interested students to practitioners in environmental law. Counseling on resume and cover letter preparation and on interviewing techniques as job search strategies is available. In addition, the environmental law faculty maintains information regarding employment opportunities in environmental law.
Students work with the environmental law faculty on placement within their interest and backgrounds.
Pace graduates today work as environmental lawyers in government agencies, such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, in the environmental law departments of private firms, and with environmental citizen organizations. Other graduates apply their advanced specialized knowledge to the full-time practice of environmental law with the offices of corporate house counsel, and some have moved into corporate administrative positions, such as management of environmental compliance. Both Pace J.D. and LL.M. alumni are an important network of environmental law specialists nation-wide, and participate actively in Pace alumni programs, including Pace's attractive continuing legal education offerings in environmental law to maintain their specializations. Virtually all of the international candidates for the LL.M. have returned to their home countries or joined international agencies to practice their environmental law specialization. Pace has provided post-graduate education to four Professors of Law in U.S. law schools.
