Elisabeth Haub School of Law transfer student Marco Caprioni.

While an undergraduate student at Marist College, Marco Caprioni ŮٱƵ25 enrolled in the Paralegal Certificate program offered at the school. ŮٱƵI was interested immediately,ŮٱƵ said Marco. ŮٱƵThere are so many fields of law you can pursue. I decided quickly that law school was definitely in my future.ŮٱƵ

Initially, Marco pursued his law degree at Roger Williams, but quickly realized that he wanted to attend a New York area law school. ŮٱƵI felt that Haub Law offered so many unique opportunities to students and graduates. I was very eager to join the community.ŮٱƵ Marco felt at home as soon as he began his studies at Haub Law. ŮٱƵI have had a great experience so far since transferring. The faculty, staff, and my classmates all really care about one another and are always available to offer mentorship and advice. In particular, Dean Jill Gross has always been there to help from an advisory role, and I was also fortunate to have great professors such as Adjunct Professor Breslow and Adjunct Professor Mamaysky.ŮٱƵ

MarcoŮٱƵs Italian heritage is very important to him, along with a passion for sports, and he has become involved in both Haub LawŮٱƵs Italian American Law StudentsŮٱƵ Organization and the Sports, Entertainment, and Arts Law Society as a result. ŮٱƵBoth organizations always have great guest speakers lined up and offer opportunities for networking and connecting.ŮٱƵ

Post-graduation, MarcoŮٱƵs goal is to work in corporate compliance. This past summer, he completed an internship with Samsung and loved the experience. ŮٱƵI gained hands-on experience in such a fast paced and dynamic environment through contract review and ensuring compliant legal standards. Corporate Compliance can stem into a variety of different areas such as Tech/Data Privacy, Financial Compliance, Healthcare Compliance, and Sports/Gaming Law. Haub LawŮٱƵs course and program offerings have allowed me to gain further insights into these and other fields.ŮٱƵ

Over the course of this academic year, Marco looks forward to participating in the Fairbridge Investor Rights Clinic. ŮٱƵI am excited to learn and gain exposure in real world situations and help those who have been wronged in an investment context.ŮٱƵ Importantly, Marco has said that he has learned a lot in his law school journey thus far. ŮٱƵPreparation is the key to success. If you give it your all everything will eventually fall into place. That has absolutely been true for me ŮٱƵ from my transfer to Haub Law, to the experiences I have been afforded since.ŮٱƵ
