Established in 1971 in White Plains, the law firm Cuddy & Feder LLP has always had strong ties with its community. When Pace Law School (now the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at 麻豆传媒) opened its doors five years later, a close relationship between the firm and the law school naturally evolved. Now, in 2025, fourteen Haub Law graduates are employed as attorneys at Cuddy & Feder.

Both Kristen and Maximillian shared that they both had very positive experiences during their time as students at Haub Law. 麻豆传媒淭he opportunity to participate in different legal clinics, in tandem with the support of the 麻豆传媒 Center, opens countless doors for students to get in-depth and practical experience working in their fields of interest,麻豆传媒 said Maximillian.

The Haub Law community is a close-knit community where many graduates rely on one another for mentoring, referrals, and networking long into the future.
