@joetipton @DanielPoneman @on3 @transferportal @TheDePaud @StacDemon @BarstoolDepaul @BlueDemonReport @BlueDemonDen @kreyme8 Good luck Jacob -- I'll be rooting for you wherever you go. Really enjoyed your work in nonconference play with DePaul. Hopefully you can get your magic back with another team.

@kreyme8 This is so accurate. Seen it many many times this season.

You’re in control
Of your 2025 …
Focus on accountability .. if you’re complaining ..
It on you to change Your actions not the world’s 🌍 responsibility to change the way it is … the thing you control
Is your actions and your accountability and your decision to not blame ..
And I think someone just saw this and is finally
Ready to get happier and realizes it’s on them ❣️❣️❣️❣️ pass this onto someone who needs it or share it in your stories ..
Cause unfortunately…
Many need it 💘

@bluegritnil @DePaulHoops Nice work DePaul!

[Dave Scriven-Young @AttorneyDSY]

This means I can refer many matters out if my colleagues need help outside our firm. This increases my value to the firm as a center of influence. Feel free to send me a direct message if you want to get involved in the ABA or any bar association!

Over the next several days, I’m enjoying sunny Palm Springs for the @ABALitigation Fall Leadership Meeting. I serve on the Section’s governing council and host the Section’s podcast, Litigation Radio.

[Dave Scriven-Young @AttorneyDSY]

These meetings are invaluable to my practice — both in terms of learning substantive content as well as business development. Through the ABA, I’ve been able to substantially expand my network and gain new referral sources.

[Dave Scriven-Young @AttorneyDSY]

Build your personal brand, network like crazy, and always be learning—especially outside the classroom—whether it’s tech, business, or marketing, these skills are just as important as legal theory.

Young Lawyer Tip #6: Elon Musk once said, "you don’t need a college degree to be successful." For Musk, it’s all about skills over credentials. He believes in doing the work, solving problems, and showing impact. For lawyers, we know that law school teaches you the theory.

[Dave Scriven-Young @AttorneyDSY]

Musk’s point? It’s the practical, hands-on skills that sets us apart—not just the degree."

The takeaway is to not just rely on your law degree.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Do you want to be great? Make yourself small and put yourself at the service of everyone. In the #GospelOfTheDay (Mark 9:30-37), Jesus renews our way of living. He teaches us that true power does not lie in domination by the strong, but in the care for the weak.

Young Lawyer Tip #5: To get referrals and develop business for your practice, you need to build your network. For young lawyers, the first step is staying close to your law school classmates. They may be able to refer cases to you now, and you never know where they will end up.

[Dave Scriven-Young @AttorneyDSY]

Can’t wait to cheer on @DePaulHoops and @DePaulWBBHoops this season!

[DePaul Athletics @DePaulAthletics]

couldn’t do it without them 🩵

Special thank you to all of our season ticket holders who joined us for our preseason event last night. Let’s get this season started!

#BlueGrit 🔵😈

[Dave Scriven-Young @AttorneyDSY]

@DePaulAthletics Looking forward to the season! 🏀🏀

I’ll be speaking on emerging environmental legal issues—PFAS and its liabilities—at the Associated General Contractors of America’s Highway, Transportation, and Utility Infrastructure Construction Conference in October. If you’ll be out there, send me a note so we can meet up!

[Dave Scriven-Young @AttorneyDSY]

See if you can push through those hard times and get through to the other side. You might be closer to success than you realize, and pushing through may be a lot easier than starting over.

Young Lawyer Tip #3: There may be days when you want to quit, and there may be periods where you might want to quit every day. Being a lawyer at a law firm (and sometimes just a human being) is hard.
