Biography
Zackary Colclasure is a 1L at Northeastern University School of Law (NUSL) and a graduate of Stonehill College where he received his BA in Political Science with a minor in Philosophy. Prior to pursuing law, Colclasure served in the Baker-Polito Administration for five years where he focused primarily on building lasting rapport between constituents and local government. In the Governor’s Office, Colclasure’s first responsibilities included overseeing the Office of Constituent Services and managing the Governor’s Internship Program. Colclasure later became the Governor’s Advance Representative and acted as the Governor’s personal aide while traveling across the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and beyond in furtherance of the Governor’s daily obligations. During this time, Colclasure discovered his passion for law by bearing witness to the profound influence that lawyers have in solving life’s most immediate challenges. At the end of the Governor’s tenure, Colclasure served as the Governor’s Deputy Director of Advance & Operations where he further helped strategize, coordinate, and execute the day-to-day operations of Governor’s schedule. Colclasure is excited to further explore his passion for public service while interning this summer at the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office.
