The Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University has received a generous five-year grant to name its Investor Rights Clinic after RealFi Financial LLC, a leading, technology-driven, real estate lending and asset management firm. The newly named RealFi Funding Investor Rights Clinic is recognized across the country as a leader in arbitration and securities dispute resolution, and is considered one of most unique experiential learning opportunities at the Elisabeth Haub School of Law.

For the past quarter century, the RealFi Funding Investor Rights Clinic has provided students with direct legal experience under the supervision of licensed attorneys who are not only great practitioners, but also trained in individually educating and mentoring students. The clinic makes a tremendous impact on the community by providing access to the justice system to investors of modest means otherwise unable to afford representation.

Under the auspices of John Jay Legal Services, Inc., a not-for-profit legal services firm that houses and runs the clinic and externship programs at the Elisabeth Haub School of Law, student interns in the RealFi Funding Investor Rights Clinic represent small investors with claims against their brokers in arbitration and mediation proceedings before the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). Since its inception, more than 200 students have participated in the Clinic, reviewing hundreds of inquiries, and handling approximately 100 cases for investors. Clinic students have secured almost $900,000 in recovered funds for their clients.
