A year later, Creighton was able to leave his restaurant gig to become assistant director of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commoncause.org\/massachusetts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Common Cause Massachusetts<\/a>, which promotes democracy reform, government transparency and accountability, and expanded voting rights. That role paved the way for other positions in Washington, DC, and Boston\u2014and eventually, a realization that a law degree would make him a more effective and versatile advocate. The only impediment was the expense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI was turned off primarily from the cost perspective,\u201d Creighton says. \u201cAs someone who had worked in nonprofits for seven years after graduating and who had a fair amount of student loan debt, I didn\u2019t want to make the same mistake I felt I made going into undergrad. And I wouldn\u2019t have strong prospects of high-paying jobs if I was going to continue to work in either the government or the nonprofit sector.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once again, Creighton hit on a solution: He applied for and received a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/admissions-aid\/financialaid\/scholarships\/public-interest-scholarships\/\">Public Interest Scholarship<\/a> from Boston University School of Law, which covered tuition for all three years of law school. The scholarship also included a $5,000 stipend for public-interest internships during the first two summers of law school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the time he entered BU Law, Creighton had already demonstrated a significant commitment to public interest work. After two years with Common Cause Massachusetts, he had relocated to Washington, DC, to handle communications and messaging for <a href=\"https:\/\/rethinkmedia.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ReThink Media<\/a>. The group advocates for more representative democracy, voting rights, and cultural equity. Although Creighton was inspired by his job, he missed what he calls \u201cthe nitty gritty wonky work\u201d of policy debate and hands-on approach to legislation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also realized that legal training would increase his impact and, at 29, felt he had the maturity to thrive in law school. \u201cIt was pretty key,\u201d says Creighton, who was one of the older students in his class. \u201cIt made me overall far less stressed out than most of the other people I was going to school with. I was a little bit better on the time-management front, and I felt like I\u2019d sort of proved myself. I was confident in what I could do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"\/law\/files\/2021\/11\/creighton-and-mazel-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Tyler Creighton and his wife, Lauren Mazel, who is also a graduate of Boston University\" class=\"wp-image-85407\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2021\/11\/creighton-and-mazel-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2021\/11\/creighton-and-mazel-636x477.jpg 636w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2021\/11\/creighton-and-mazel-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2021\/11\/creighton-and-mazel-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2021\/11\/creighton-and-mazel-1101x826.jpg 1101w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2021\/11\/creighton-and-mazel-909x682.jpg 909w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2021\/11\/creighton-and-mazel-1376x1032.jpg 1376w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2021\/11\/creighton-and-mazel-1761x1321.jpg 1761w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2021\/11\/creighton-and-mazel-459x344.jpg 459w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2021\/11\/creighton-and-mazel-705x529.jpg 705w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2021\/11\/creighton-and-mazel-917x688.jpg 917w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2021\/11\/creighton-and-mazel-1411x1058.jpg 1411w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2021\/11\/creighton-and-mazel-1819x1364.jpg 1819w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2021\/11\/creighton-and-mazel-1333x1000.jpg 1333w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2021\/11\/creighton-and-mazel-1600x1200.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2021\/11\/creighton-and-mazel.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Tyler Creighton and his wife, Lauren Mazel, who is also a graduate of Boston University<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite his heavy coursework, he made time to skate with an adult ice hockey league and play competitive bridge. Resettling in Boston was something of a homecoming, too. The San Francisco Bay Area native knew and loved the city from his undergraduate days at Boston College, and his wife, Lauren Mazel (MSOT\u201915, OTD\u201917), an occupational therapist, had family there as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Creighton most enjoyed consumer protection classes and served as an editor of the <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/bulawreview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BU Law Review<\/a><\/em>. He also conducted research for his professors and interned with the housing department at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gbls.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Greater Boston Legal Services<\/a>, where he represented low-income residents facing eviction. He advocated for public housing tenants\u2019 associations to ensure that developers complied with regulations governing tenants who were displaced during redevelopment projects. \u201cThat\u2019s somewhat of a consumer issue, to some degree,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another internship was with the Boston-based <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nclc.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">National Consumer Law Center<\/a> (NCLC), where Creighton represented and advised low-income students who became delinquent on their loans. The group helps craft programs to encourage reasonable student loan repayment terms. Even the pandemic didn\u2019t halt his efforts: He worked remotely when he couldn\u2019t be in the office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Creighton is particularly proud of his legal work on a lawsuit the NCLC filed against a federal government contractor, Maximus Federal Services Inc., under the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ftc.gov\/enforcement\/rules\/rulemaking-regulatory-reform-proceedings\/fair-debt-collection-practices-act-text\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fair Debt Collection Practices Act<\/a>. The lawsuit alleged that Maximus erred by not halting collections efforts on some student borrowers. Creighton crafted the center\u2019s brief opposing Maximus\u2019s motion for summary judgment. He was pleased to learn in October 2021 that Maximus\u2019s motion was denied on every count.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since receiving his law degree in 2021, Creighton has been clerking for Associate Justice Gregory I. Massing of the Massachusetts Appeals Court. The judge\u2019s workload is split between civil and criminal matters, giving Creighton experience with everything from business disputes to police searches. He\u2019s also been drafting opinions and recommending questions for the judge to pose in oral arguments.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-end-of-article\">When the clerkship concludes this spring, Creighton hopes to find a consumer protection position, perhaps with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Massachusetts Attorney General\u2019s Office, or the US Department of Justice. As he wrote in his application for the scholarship, \u201ca focus on public interest law will increase my ability to achieve systemic changes for a more just and equitable America.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"wp-block-editorial-relatedstories is-style-card has-three record-block-editorial-relatedstories\">\n\t\t<h3
