Faculty Scholarship
Faculty Publications
Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University's distinguished faculty are involved in important scholarship and civic engagement on critical issues that span many diverse disciplines of law and policy. Their scholarship has been published in top law reviews and been cited by numerous courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court. Through their work, our faculty are helping to shape law and policy across the country and around the world.
Featured Scholarship
In Rethinking the Role of Intentional Wrongdoing in Criminal Law, 113 Calif. L. Rev. __ (forthcoming 2025), Professor Antill challenges the assumption that intentional harms should always draw greater punishment than reckless or negligent ones.
In Rethinking Nature's Rights, __ Harv. Envtl. L. Rev. __ (forthcoming 2026), Professor Bustos reexamines one of the most influential and contested movements in modern environmental law—the effort to recognize natural entities such as rivers, forests, and ecosystems as legal persons with enforceable rights.
In her article, Confronting Inequality: Three Eras of Gender and Tax Scholarship, 58 Loy. L.A. L. Rev. (forthcoming 2025), Professor Crawford traces the evolution of gender and tax scholarship through the metaphor of quilting.
In his article, Interpreting Congress, 2025 Wis. L. Rev. 89 (2025), Professor Galperin explores how the Supreme Court’s recent decisions mark a profound shift in how the Court interprets statutes and defines the role of Congress itself.
In her article, Abundance and Other Food Fixations, 96 U. Colo. L. Rev. 209 (2025), Professor Pollans examines how the United States’ cultural and legal preoccupation with food—manifested through fixations on abundance, thinness, and health—has shaped the nation’s food policies and distorted their goals.
In her article, The Federal Future of Medication Abortion, 57 Ind. L. Rev. 613 (2024), Professor Simon examines future of access to medication abortion, evaluating the arguments raised by both sides in Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine v. FDA.
In Trouble, Trouble, Trouble: Taylor Swift, Ticketmaster, and Arbitration, 27 Vand. J. Ent. & Tech. L. 301 (2025) Professor Szalai uses the now-infamous Ticketmaster fiasco surrounding Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour to shine a spotlight on a much bigger issue: the pervasive use of arbitration clauses in the United States.
In her article, Defamation in the Age of Artificial Intelligence, 80 N.Y.U. Ann. Surv. Am. L. 135 (2024), Professor Tenzer explores how the rapid advancement of AI technology is reshaping defamation—one of the oldest doctrines in tort law.
In her article, Parents at the Schoolhouse Gate, 104 N.C. L. Rev. __ (forthcoming 2025), Professor Gold Waldman examines the ways that new litigation has been transforming the balance of power between parents, students, and public schools.
Featured Faculty Books
Hot Flash: How the Law Ignores Menopause and What We Can Do About It, Stanford University Press (2024)
In their book, Pace Haub Law Professors Waldman and Crawford (with Naomi R. Cahn), explore cultural, legal, and medical attitudes toward menopause and highlight how societal taboos around reproductive health contribute to ongoing inequities. The authors suggest concrete changes to existing legislation and workplace policies to better support those going through menopause and advocate for an intersectional, equity-focused approach.
Adapting to High-Level Warming: Law, Governance, and Equity, Environmental Law Institute (2024)
Most legal scholarship related to climate change assumes only modest planetary warming — but scientists warn that more accelerated temperature increases are likely. A book edited by Professor Katrina Fischer Kuh takes on the legal and ethical challenges this possible future presents, exploring how governance systems must adapt to protect vulnerable populations and ensure a just transition in a world facing severe environmental shifts.
Social Movements and the Law: Talking about Black Lives Matter and #MeToo, University of California Press (2024)
How have the Black Lives Matter and #MeToo movements shaped law and culture? A book co-edited by Professor Bridget J. Crawford (with Lolita Buckner Inniss), uses dialogues with 12 leading scholars to examine how these 21st-century social movements continue to intersect with and influence legal discourse. The book’s intersectional analysis places both movements in historical and social context and offers insights into their potential futures.
The Federal Arbitration Act: Successes, Failures, and a Roadmap for Reform, Cambridge University Press (2024)
Co-edited by Vice Dean and Professor Jill I. Gross, this timely volume marks the 100th anniversary of the Federal Arbitration Act. Over 30 leading scholars and practitioners analyze the Act's successes and shortcomings and highlight the flaws in current interpretations. With concrete proposals for reform to ensure fairness and equity, the book provides a roadmap for the future of arbitration in the United States.
