FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PACE LAW SCHOOL ADDS TWO NEW PROFESSORS TO FACULTY ROSTER BEGINNING WITH FALL 2009 SEMESTER

New Faculty Members to Bring Wealth of Expertise in Areas of Environmental and Family Law

WHITE PLAINS, NY – JUNE 18, 2009 — Pace Law School is pleased to announce that Jessica Owley Lippmann and Noa Ben-Asher will join the full-time faculty beginning August 1, 2009. Lippmann will teach Environmental Skills and Practice among other courses, and Ben-Asher will teach Torts, Family Law and Sexuality, Gender & the Law.

Jessica Lippman comes to Pace from Morrison & Foerster in San Francisco, where she practiced in the Land Use and Environmental Law Group. Prior to private practice, Lippmann clerked for the Honorable Harry Pregerson of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and the Honorable Dean D. Pregerson of the Central District of California.

“The addition of Jessica Lippmann to our faculty will enhance our already strong reputation in Environmental Law,” said Michelle S. Simon, Dean of Pace Law School. “Her interdisciplinary perspective – informed by law, environmental science, policy and management – will enable her to contribute to a broad scholarly dialogue.” Lippmann is a graduate of Wellesley College and the University of California, Berkeley, from which she received her JD, two master’s degrees and her PhD. During her graduate studies, Lippmann won multiple teaching prizes.

Noa Ben-Asher joins the Pace faculty after two years of teaching in Columbia Law School’s Associates-in-Law program. She is a graduate of Israel’s Bar-Ilan University and New York University, where she received both her LLM and JSD. She previously was an associate at Proskauer Rose LLP, where she worked in the Litigation Department. She also was a Williams Fellow at UCLA. Ben-Asher will teach Torts, Family Law and Sexuality, Gender & the Law during her first year at Pace. “Noa’s is an exciting and creative emerging voice in Family Law scholarship,” said Dean Simon. “Her interest in the intersections of gender theory, feminist theory and jurisprudence pushes the scholarly conversation to a new, high level.”

Pace Law School has several faculty members working in the area of women’s justice, and Ben-Asher will add to that expertise. Simon remarked, “Noa received high praise from her Columbia students. She has many of the attributes of a great teacher and will hit the ground running in the fall. We’re delighted to welcome our two newest colleagues.”
