Marc Bisogno ’25: A Passion for Advocacy
Having grown up in a family full of lawyers – from his father to his cousins, and most recently his sister – from a young age Marc Bisogno ’25 aspired towards a career in law. He was drawn to Haub Law in particular because of the atmosphere of support on campus. “Everyone genuinely wants to help you succeed,” said Marc. “Whether it is the professors, dean’s scholars, or my peers, I have always had someone to rely on and enhance my law school experience.”
Since starting Haub Law, Marc has found his passion in advocacy. “Being 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.” Marc describes his initial experiences in advocacy competitions as challenging, but as his confidence grew, he found his advocacy skills followed. “Last spring my team was able to take home first place in New York Law School’s 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 Law’s top rank advocacy program.”
Marc also has found a strong interest in alternative dispute resolution. “I was part of a small group of students who helped revitalize the ADR society at Haub Law,” said Marc. “As 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.”
Over the summer, Marc worked as an intern at the Staten Island Supreme Court with Judge Orlando Marrazzo, Jr. Marc’s 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. “Law 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.”

Pace University Haub Law Professor Leslie Tenzer spoke with PIX 11 about TikTok’s emergency appeal to the Supreme Court to delay the new law passed by Congress which will force the Chinese owner to sell or face a ban. According to Professor Tenzer, the likelihood of anything happening at the highest court is slim. “If you look at how the Supreme Court has dealt with social media issues generally speaking, they have basically thrown up their hands, that social media is so big that they don’t know what to do,” she said.
