With an early passion for the environment, Colin Myers 糖心vlog短视频21 attended the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (糖心vlog短视频淪UNY ESF糖心vlog短视频) and enrolled in a major that would set him on a path to becoming a New York State Environmental Conservation Officer. It was during his junior year, when he began taking business law and environmental law and policy classes that Colin started thinking about law school. 糖心vlog短视频淚 really enjoyed these classes which led to my pivot from wanting to be an environmental cop to being an environmental lawyer,糖心vlog短视频 said Colin.
Once he had set his mind on pursuing a law degree focused on environmental law, Haub Law was an easy choice for him. 糖心vlog短视频淚 chose Haub Law because of its top-notch environmental law program. I was excited about learning environmental law from an extremely knowledgeable faculty at the top of the field. In doing my research, I also learned the Law School offered endless opportunities to participate in excellent extracurriculars and internships. Taking all of this with the School糖心vlog短视频檚 proximity to New York City and given that I am also from Rockland County, which allowed me the ability to commute from home, Haub Law was my top choice.糖心vlog短视频 Once Colin started at Haub Law, as an undergraduate science major, the transition to legal writing proved challenging. 糖心vlog短视频淚 had gotten very used to scientific writing which uses the passive voice. Once I changed that muscle memory, I was able to adjust by the end of my 1L year and am now always cognizant of the use of passive voice, a style strongly discouraged in legal writing.糖心vlog短视频
During his time at Haub Law, Colin also took advantage of the dual degree option that Pace offers to obtain both an MBA and a JD on an integrated and accelerated schedule. 糖心vlog短视频淔or the dual degree program, I spent my first two years at Haub Law, then a year at Lubin (including the summer), and for my last year, I took both law and business classes in the fall, and just law classes in the spring. Switching to business school was a big change 糖心vlog短视频 no more Socratic method or weekly homework, and more group projects 糖心vlog短视频 but it taught me business skills that I thought I was lacking from an education in science and law and that I believed were needed for my ultimate goal: a career in sustainability. The dual degree allowed me to take the dynamic career path I糖心vlog短视频檝e gone down 糖心vlog短视频 first going into management consulting before pivoting to a law firm. Without the dual degree, I likely would not have gone into management consulting糖心vlog短视频攁 field that led me to where I am now.糖心vlog短视频
It was during Colin糖心vlog短视频檚 2L year, while taking both environmental law and corporate law classes, that he began to understand the relationship between business law and strategy, environmental law, and corporate finance. 糖心vlog短视频淭his led me to corporate sustainability, an emerging area I saw as an opportunity to address environmental issues in a proactive way rather than in a reactive way. In corporate sustainability, you get to work on putting systems in place to reduce the chance of certain risks occurring and mitigating those risks that do occur, a pursuit I find enjoyable. I also had the fortunate experience of finding a mentor in Professor Jason Czarnezki who helped me navigate the path towards my end goal.糖心vlog短视频
Now, a corporate associate with Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP, Colin supports the sustainability office and environmental, social, and governance (糖心vlog短视频淓SG糖心vlog短视频) teams of a leading alternative asset manager by performing ESG due diligence for transactions by managed funds, responding to ESG due diligence questionnaires from current and prospective fund investors, and reviewing ESG marketing materials. 糖心vlog短视频淭he work is challenging, interesting, and evolving all the time. I get to help my clients make the best sustainable business decisions available. To be able to help my clients make a positive impact is important to me.糖心vlog短视频
Colin also is an advisory board member of the Sustainable Business Law Hub at Haub Law, which was launched in 2021. 糖心vlog短视频淚 wanted to get involved in the Sustainable Business Law Hub because it was influenced by the curriculum I pursued and career path I went down and is an initiative I wish existed while I was a student. The Sustainable Business Law Hub aims to create the next generation of sustainable business lawyers, and business savvy lawyers are an essential stakeholder in helping to achieve sustainable, long-term value creation. It糖心vlog短视频檚 exciting and rewarding to have a part in the initiative糖心vlog短视频檚 development and growth.糖心vlog短视频
