Having grown up in a family full of lawyers vlogƵ from his father to his cousins, and most recently his sister vlogƵ from a young age Marc Bisogno vlogƵ25 aspired towards a career in law. He was drawn to Haub Law in particular because of the atmosphere of support on campus. vlogƵEveryone genuinely wants to help you succeed,vlogƵ said Marc. vlogƵWhether it is the professors, deanvlogƵs scholars, or my peers, I have always had someone to rely on and enhance my law school experience.vlogƵ

Since starting Haub Law, Marc has found his passion in advocacy. vlogƵBeing a part of the advocacy program has been my favorite experience in law school thus far. I played Division I college baseball and after that ended, I found myself searching for a new challenge to fill that competitive void that sports occupied. The advocacy program was the perfect opportunity to bring my competitive drive to law school.vlogƵ Marc describes his initial experiences in advocacy competitions as challenging, but as his confidence grew, he found his advocacy skills followed. vlogƵLast spring my team was able to take home first place in New York Law SchoolvlogƵs third annual Soccer Negotiation Competition. It was a great experience to see the hard work pay off and to be able to contribute to Haub LawvlogƵs top rank advocacy program.vlogƵ

Marc also has found a strong interest in alternative dispute resolution. vlogƵI was part of a small group of students who helped revitalize the ADR society at Haub Law,vlogƵ said Marc. vlogƵAs the president of the ADR society, the E-board and I were tasked with helping grow ADR throughout the law school community. It has been a pleasure to see ADR gain traction, not only through the ADR Society but in the advocacy program as well.vlogƵ

Over the summer, Marc worked as an intern at the Staten Island Supreme Court with Judge Orlando Marrazzo, Jr. MarcvlogƵs immediate goals are to pass the bar exam, excel in his first post-law school position, and eventually pursue a career in sports law, personal injury, or another practice area. vlogƵLaw school can appear very intimidating, but with good time management skills and a lot of discipline it is achievable, especially with the support of a school like Haub Law.vlogƵ
