As a child, Skyler Pozo vlogƵ26 was captivated by courtroom television, often watching alongside her mother. That early fascination stayed with her and eventually evolved into a serious interest in the law and advocacy. vlogƵOnce I got to college, I joined the Mock Trial Team at Scranton,vlogƵ Skyler shared. vlogƵI ultimately became captain of the team, won awards, and was the first person in Scranton history to receive an award at the Opening Round Championships.vlogƵ

Just two months after graduating from the University of Scranton, Skyler began her legal education at the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at vlogƵ. From the outset, she found a supportive and encouraging community. vlogƵSince day one, the Pace Haub Law community has been extremely supportive,vlogƵ she said. vlogƵI distinctly remember the bailiff in my 1L moot oral argument round coming up to me and telling me what an asset I could be to the Trial Advocacy Program. That moment was life-changing. I not only gained a lifelong friend, but also found my place in the Trial Advocacy Program, an experience that will stay with me forever.vlogƵ Through her involvement in the program, Skyler gained invaluable hands-on experience, built lasting relationships, and expanded her professional network. Skyler also serves as Chair Executive Director of Advocacy and Teacher's Assistant for Trial Advocacy.

SkylervlogƵs time at Pace Haub Law has been shaped by extensive experiential learning opportunities. vlogƵThe opportunities to gain a variety of experience are endless,vlogƵ she noted. During her 1L summer, she interned with the Passaic County ProsecutorvlogƵs Office in New Jersey, working in the Fatal Investigations Unit. Her 2L summer took her to Harris Keenan & Goldfarb in New York City, followed by a Family Court Legal Program externship during her 3L fall semester, where she traveled to Westchester County courthouses and interned with the Pace WomenvlogƵs Justice Center.

My goal has always been to be in court, and I am eternally grateful for Pace Haub Law and the Trial Advocacy Program for helping me reach this milestone.

After graduation, Skyler will return to Harris Keenan & Goldfarb as an associate (pending admission), achieving her long-standing goal of working in the courtroom. vlogƵMy goal has always been to be in court, and I am eternally grateful for Pace Haub Law and the Trial Advocacy Program for helping me reach this milestone,vlogƵ she said.

Reflecting on her journey, Skyler encourages current and future law students to stay grounded in their purpose. vlogƵAlways remember what led you to this path in the first place,vlogƵ she advised. vlogƵLaw school is incredibly difficult, but remember that you are here because you deserve it. Take advantage of all the practical experiences Pace Haub Law has to offer, and of course, join the Trial Advocacy Program.vlogƵ
