“I have worked with and gotten to know Colin in numerous ways over the past three years. Primarily we were classmates at the University of St. Thomas School of Law. However, our professional relationship deepened when we were both Summer Associates for the Pemberton Law Firm in Fergus Falls, MN during the 2016 summer months. In recommending Colin, four traits come to mind; dedication, passion, teamwork and attention to detail. Colin's drive to succeed and passion for the law was present EVERY DAY as both a student and a Summer Associate. You can absolutely tell he has always wanted to be an attorney and would let nothing stand in his way of accomplishing that goal. That level of enthusiasm is hard to find. With our office spaces next to each other at Pemberton, I always knew I could count on Colin to provide candid guidance when I encountered an unfamiliar area of law that he had knowledge of. Colin is also a unique resource in terms of blue booking and citation work, as his attention to detail and love of prose make him a very gifted editor and proofreader. I recommend Colin as a professional without any reservation. ”

I was honored to have been chosen to represent St. Thomas at various Moot Court competitions, such as the AIPLA Giles Sutherland Rich Moot Court Competition, and the William E. McGee Civil Rights Moot Court Competition.
In addition, I have volunteered to participate, and have held leadership roles, in various St. Thomas Law groups like the Sports Law Society, the Women’s Student Law Association, Yoga Club, and the Student Intellectual Property Association (described in-depth below). Lastly, St. Thomas afforded me the opportunity to branch out, break out of my comfort zone by providing a study abroad program where I went to Rome and attended John Cabot University for a summer.

"Have I Been Wrongfully Terminated?
Halunen Law Article
See publicationThis brief article discusses the nuances of wrongful termination in Minnesota. Oftentimes, the word "wrongful termination" becomes a misnomer when someone feels that their termination does not make sense. This article helps clarify that a termination is only wrongful when it was done for an illegal reason (e.g., terminations as a result of someones protected trait or for engaging in protected conduct).
