A Place to Call Home: Michael Mingo '22
“My experience at Haub Law has been a blessing. From my first day stepping on this campus, I knew this was my home for the next three years of my life. Not only did this school made a great first impression, but they have maintained their commitment to my colleagues and me throughout our legal education. I could go on and on thanking and being grateful to our career counselors, financial aid professionals, media personnel, professors, chefs in the dining hall, janitors, and so many more. At Haub Law, I am around people who accept me and are genuine—long after I graduate, it will always be a place that I call home.”
Michael Mingo is a 3L who is expected to graduate in May 2022. This past summer, he was a summer associate in the Legal Department of the American Civil Liberties Union of New York (NYCLU). As a summer associate, Michael performed legal research and writing, was regularly briefed on policy throughout New York State, and was given a variety of assignments on a weekly basis. Michael notes that at the NYCLU he was “primarily responsible for conducting legal research on pressing and often nuanced issues the NYCLU faces. Much of my work this summer revolved around protecting the civil liberties of all New Yorkers. In doing so, I worked to protect First Amendment rights, Sixth Amendment rights, and Equal Protection and Due Process rights under the Fourteenth Amendment. I gained a more extensive network of skilled and passionate professionals.”
While at Haub Law, Michael is focusing on criminal law and upon graduating hopes to pursue a career in criminal defense. “I hope to join alongside a group of other passionate attorneys who, just like me, are committed to the individuals and communities impacted by our criminal legal system.”

Pace Haub Law Institute for Energy Democracy Fellow Janine Migden-Ostrander speaks with WKRC-TV (Local 12) about Ohio’s proposed Senate Bill 294, warning that lawmakers should not be determining energy siting outcomes and arguing that the market—not the legislature—should decide which power projects move forward.

Cindy Kanusher, Executive Director of the Pace Women’s Justice Center, is featured in a Metro UK article examining the cultural impact of Making a Murderer—and the often-overlooked human cost of true crime storytelling. In the piece, Kanusher underscores the responsibility filmmakers and audiences share to center victims and survivors, particularly in cases involving gender-based violence, and to resist narratives that sensationalize trauma or erase lived experience. Her perspective highlights how true crime can do more than entertain—it can educate, foster empathy, and promote accountability—if it is framed responsibly.
