From a Night at the Museum to Days at Haub Law
Meet Jacob Cherry, a 1L at Haub Law whose path to legal education is anything but typical. As a child actor, Jacob shared the screen with stars like Ben Stiller in Night at the Museum—but today, he’s traded in his SAG card for his Pace Library Card where you’ll find him studying for his Contracts, Civil Procedure, and Torts classes.
Originally from New Jersey, Jacob spent much of his youth traveling between New York and Los Angeles for acting. But when he started thinking differently about his future, it was his visit to Haub Law’s Accepted Students Day that sparked a new passion.
“Based on the energy and attitude of the faculty and students, I was immediately drawn to Haub Law,” shared Jacob. “The focus on camaraderie here really spoke to me—it set the school apart.”
Since starting law school, Jacob has fully embraced the Haub Law community. He joined SEALS (the Sports, Entertainment, and Arts Law Society) and was elected as a 1L representative. He regularly connects with classmates through study groups and even launched a Dungeons & Dragons campaign, creating a fun and collaborative space for students to unwind and bond outside of class.
Jacob has also found meaningful mentorship by taking advantage of office hours with his professors, who are always willing to discuss course materials or provide advice on his career goals. Those conversations, he says, have been instrumental in shaping his early experience at Haub Law.
Looking ahead, Jacob is interested in litigation and trial advocacy, and excited to be taking Entertainment Law next semester—all skills that align with his previous experience as an actor and will provide a chance to blend his past and present in meaningful ways.
Jacob was recently featured in People magazine about his journey from film sets to the halls of law school, written by another Haub Law student, 1L Flex student Tereza Shkurtaj.

As a child, Skyler Pozo ’26 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. “Once I got to college, I joined the Mock Trial Team at Scranton,” Skyler shared. “I 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.”
