The Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University ranked #2 among the top 20 law schools sending the most students into careers in government, according to employment data (Class of 2025) reported by Law.com.
This recognition reflects the Law School’s longstanding commitment to public service, access to justice, and experiential learning through its extensive partnerships across the public sector. Among the most significant of these are its longstanding relationships with District Attorney offices across the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island—partnerships that provide a substantial number of Pace Haub Law students with hands-on courtroom experience and direct exposure to public service litigation.
In addition to placements throughout government organizations, these opportunities help prepare students for impactful careers serving their communities through prosecution, government service, and the broader public sector.
