Marc Bisogno ŮٱƵ25: A Passion for Advocacy
Having grown up in a family full of lawyers ŮٱƵ from his father to his cousins, and most recently his sister ŮٱƵ from a young age Marc Bisogno ŮٱƵ25 aspired towards a career in law. He was drawn to Haub Law in particular because of the atmosphere of support on campus. ŮٱƵEveryone genuinely wants to help you succeed,ŮٱƵ said Marc. ŮٱƵWhether it is the professors, deanŮٱƵs scholars, or my peers, I have always had someone to rely on and enhance my law school experience.ŮٱƵ
Since starting Haub Law, Marc has found his passion in advocacy. ŮٱƵBeing 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.ŮٱƵ Marc describes his initial experiences in advocacy competitions as challenging, but as his confidence grew, he found his advocacy skills followed. ŮٱƵLast spring my team was able to take home first place in New York Law SchoolŮٱƵs 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 LawŮٱƵs top rank advocacy program.ŮٱƵ
Marc also has found a strong interest in alternative dispute resolution. ŮٱƵI was part of a small group of students who helped revitalize the ADR society at Haub Law,ŮٱƵ said Marc. ŮٱƵAs 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.ŮٱƵ
Over the summer, Marc worked as an intern at the Staten Island Supreme Court with Judge Orlando Marrazzo, Jr. MarcŮٱƵs 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. ŮٱƵLaw 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.ŮٱƵ
