Check out the next in our Dayton Law Journeys series where we talk to graduates about how they’re applying what they learned in law school. In this one see how Taylor Tyler ‘22 is using her J.D. to not only help her clients but also to mentor the next generation of attorneys.

Why did you decide to earn a J.D.?

I wanted a career that would allow me to make a meaningful impact, help people navigate difficult situations, and use my voice to advocate for others. Earning a J.D. offered the opportunity to combine critical thinking, public service, and lifelong learning in a way that appealed to me.

What was your experience like at UDSL?

UDSL challenged me to grow both personally and professionally. As a student in the accelerated Two-Year J.D. program who began law school during the height of the pandemic, I learned how to manage a rigorous workload while developing the practical skills necessary to succeed as an attorney. UDSL helped prepare me to enter practice with confidence.

How has the J.D. helped with your career and what are you doing now?

My J.D. has opened doors to opportunities I never imagined when I started law school. I practice civil litigation, representing clients in personal injury and civil rights matters in both state and federal court. Beyond my practice, I serve on the Board of Governors of the Illinois State Bar Association and as an American Bar Association Young Lawyer Delegate. I also coach mock trial at my former high school and mentor law students and young lawyers, which allows me to give back to the next generation of advocates. #udsl #lawschool #lawstudents #lawgrads #udsljourneys taken in Dayton School of Law by @udaytonlaw

Thanks to the law students who recently helped out at @missionofmary! The cooperative, which is in Dayton’s Twin Towers neighborhood, transforms vacant land plots into vegetable gardens and then shares the produce with those in the neighborhood. #udsl #lawschool #lawstudents #missionofmary #dayton taken in Twin Towers, Dayton, Ohio by @udaytonlaw
