Connecting With USD Pre-Law Students
On October 8, 2025, our own Ryan Cooper had the opportunity to give back by speaking to the USD Pre-Law Fraternity. The event gave students a chance to hear from a practicing personal injury attorney about his journey and the realities of law school. It was a meaningful opportunity to connect with future legal professionals and help ease some of the uncertainty that comes with entering this field.
Ryan’s Journey to Law
Ryan shared his personal story, including his education, career path, and what led him to specialize in personal injury law. His biggest piece of advice for aspiring law students: “Take your notes by hand.” He offered practical insights for students considering a legal career and emphasized the importance of resilience, ethics, and dedication. By sharing his experiences, Ryan provided valuable guidance to help students navigate their own paths in law.
Practical Tips for Aspiring Lawyers
We encourage students to seek out internship opportunities early in their law school journey, as these experiences offer valuable exposure to the realities of legal practice. Internships can also help students discover which areas of law resonate most with them. Networking with attorneys, mentors, and other professionals is another step we urge students to take. Building these connections can open doors and help shape a more confident career path.
