Ryan received his LLB (with distinction) from the University of Alberta, as well as his Master of Laws, and Doctorate of Juridical Science from Duke University Law School.
In our conversation we cover:

* How a law degree is like a owning a swiss army knife that can be used in numerous settings both within and outside of a law firm setting;
* Why it is critical to become an expert in your chosen area to achieve professional success; and
* Ryan also gives a fantastic blueprint for law students and young lawyers who are trying to sort out their career path that I wish I had when I was going through law school.
