These Haub Law students collaborated with students from clinics at New York Law School and Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law on their well-received presentation.

For Amanda (Mandy) Howerton-Fox ’27, deciding to attend law school was not just a career shift—it was a natural continuation of her lifelong commitment to advocacy. A former teacher of the deaf, Mandy’s passion for special education and disability rights first led her to pursue a PhD and become a tenured professor of education. Now, she has embarked on a new path at the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University, with a goal of effecting change through law and policy while advocating for people directly.
