Although he is among the newest additions to the Law School, Albert Pak has made a significant impact in his short yet accomplished career—through his service to the legal profession and a number of communities.
Recently the Young Lawyers Division (YLD) of the American Bar Association (ABA) honored Pak, a clinical assistant professor of law, as a 2025 ABA On the Rise – Top 40 Young Lawyers awardee. Recipients are chosen based on their leadership, innovation, and upholding of their duty to the law.
Pak—who also won the Outstanding Young Lawyer Award from the Nonprofit Organizations Committee of the ABA Business Law Section.
As a teacher in Michigan Law’s Community Enterprise Clinic (CEC), Pak works with student-attorneys to provide transactional legal services to nonprofit and community-based organizations, social enterprises, and neighborhood-based small businesses.
Several organizations in and around Detroit, as well as other disinvested cities throughout Michigan, turn to the CEC for legal assistance. The student-attorneys in the clinic assist them with everything from entity formation to corporate governance support, drafting bylaws and articles of incorporation, helping them negotiate leases, and more.
