Land Use Law Center
The Land Use Law Center is dedicated to fostering the development of sustainable communities in New York State. Through its many programs, the Center offers lawyers, land use professionals, citizens and developers assistance that enables them to achieve sustainable development at the local and regional level.
Pace Law students work as Center fellows, conducting research on cutting-edge land use practice topics. More than sixty student papers have been produced under this program, many of which have been published in law reviews and journals. Students contributed significantly to the Center's most encyclopedic publication, Well Grounded: Using Local Land Use Authority to Achieve Smart Growth, published nationally by The Environmental Law Institute.
