This week’s Conversation is with Nick Schroeck, Dean of the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law.
My guest in this week’s Conversation is Nick Schroeck. A metro-Detroit native, Nick completed his undergraduate studies at Elmhurst (IL) College before going on to earn his Juris Doctorate from the Wayne State (MI) University College of Law.
Today, Nick is the Dean of the University of Detroit Mercy’s School of Law where he also serves as a professor. His area’s of expertise include – among others – Environmental Justice and Environmental Law, so I took full advantage of our time together to discuss how athletic competitions are, perhaps, at risk due to the ever-evolving climate throughout the world. (We used the recent Club World Cup as a jumping off point.) We also discuss the environmental footprint major sporting events and venues have on the planet.
Oh yeah, we also discuss memories of his hometown Detroit Lions, Tigers, and Pistons during our time together as well as the opportunity he had to take in a Six Nations rugby match while he studied abroad in Edinburgh, Scotland.
