Honor Board
CODE OF ETHICS:
Truthfulness,
honor, ethical integrity, and respect for others are essential to
becoming a member of the legal profession.
MISSION:
The mission of the Pace Law School Honor Board
is to promote and uphold the ethical values of the legal
profession. By setting and meeting high ethical standards, Pace
students prepare themselves to stand alongside members of the Bar
with honesty and integrity.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
The Honor Board’s primary responsibilities
are to adjudicate matters concerning academic misconduct and
dishonesty by students; to increase student interest in and
awareness of the ethical concerns of the legal profession; to
maintain and update as necessary the school’s Honor Code; and to
chair the Philip B. Blank Lecture Series. The Honor Board operates
in conjunction with the faculty members of the Academic Standing
Committee.
The Honor Board continually seeks ways to
improve the law school’s honor system and welcomes input from
all students.
MEMBERSHIP:
The 2005-2006 Honor Board is composed of
twenty-three upper-class students at the Law School. This includes a
board President, a Vice President of Investigations, a Vice
President of Adjudications, a Secretary, a Lecture Committee
Chair, and an Internet Coordinator.
All students in good standing are eligible and
encouraged to apply for membership on the Board during the spring
of each academic year.
