"[Our] goal is to give [students] a sense of how important it is to use the power that they will wield as a lawyer to bring about good in the communities that they live in and work in, he said. And so we want to empower them and we want to make communities strong and do service. To this end, he's pursued mission-driven goals."
"As dean, he's built on the school's reputation as having one of the first and most recognized environmental law programs in the country to create a sustainable business law program that marries the school's environmental law curriculum with the business community. In the realm of public interest law he also spearheaded the Access to Justice Project, which focuses on providing direction and referrals to local community members who are looking for help with a legal problem."
Horace Anderson centers Pace Law’s identity on social responsibility and encourages students to use legal power to benefit their communities. He invokes a 'great power, great responsibility' ethos to motivate service and empowerment. He created a sustainable business law program linking environmental law with business practice and launched an Access to Justice Project to guide community members to legal help. He defines service broadly — pro bono work, nonprofit board service, public interest, or government roles — and urges graduates to seek service opportunities without feeling obligated. He frames career choices as ongoing, driven by intellectual curiosity and adaptation.
