Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University

I am Tamika Thomas-Murray, a unique blend of a third-year part-time law student at Pace University's Elisabeth Haub School of Law, renowned for its top-ranking environmental law program, and an environmental Educator with New York City’s Department of Education. I am deeply passionate about emerging energy and its potential to address systemic energy inequities. My enthusiasm is fueled by the prospect of proposing legislative and regulatory reforms that will include legal analysis to help lawmakers and advocates adopt policies that prioritize environmental justice communities.
