Professor Allison Pincus Joins Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty as Assistant Professor of Law

The Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University is pleased to welcome Professor Allison Pincus as Assistant Professor of Law to its full-time faculty. Bringing experience across government, public policy, and legal practice, Professor Pincus will teach Civil Procedure, Housing Development and Discrimination, and Federal Courts.

"We are thrilled to welcome Professor Allison Pincus to the Haub Law faculty," said Dean Horace E. Anderson Jr. "Professor Pincus brings an important interdisciplinary perspective to our law school community. Her ability to connect legal scholarship with real-world policymaking and practice will greatly enrich our students' educational experience and provide them with valuable insight into the complex legal issues shaping communities across the country."

Professor Pincus's scholarship explores the role of law in advancing equitable and inclusive access to opportunity in housing and education, as well as the ways legal systems can create or perpetuate barriers in these areas. Her research focuses on the interplay between the nation's housing crisis and the complex systems of zoning and redlining that have reinforced segregation and inequality for generations. Her recent scholarship includes Benign Code Words, Invidious Results: A Modern Housing Discrimination Practice, published in the N.Y.U. Journal of Legislation & Public Policy (2025), which examines how seemingly neutral language in real estate advertising can perpetuate housing discrimination.

Haub Law's commitment to public service, experiential learning, and using the law to address society's most pressing challenges makes it an exciting place to teach and conduct scholarship.
