THE LEGAL BRIEF

VOLUME 41, ISSUE 1

Young Lawyer Spotlight By Devin Kohr, Young Lawyer Section Chair

Bryan Johnson, WSBA: 44350

I grew up in … Kent, WA.

Before law school I … Spent some time working at a public water district painting and maintaining fire hydrants.

What I find challenging about being a new/young lawyer is … Time management with the constant decision - making required for getting the most out of the resources you have. There is always more to do and many different demands for your time. Some helpful advice received from a more experienced lawyer … Don ’ t use 100 words when half as many will do. Your reader will appreciate you more for being efficient.

I enjoy reading … Sports biographies. The mental makeup of the most incredible athletes is fascinating.

I am happiest when … Watching my kids ’ sports/dance events. (but a close second is making a save on a penalty kick)

My idea of misery is … Having a job where I don ’ t enjoy what I ’ m doing.

If I wasn ’ t an attorney I ’ d be … History/classics professor.

The most memorable trip I ever took was … My destination wedding to … Des Moines, Iowa! My wife is from the Midwest.

My wellness routine includes … Playing in an adult soccer league and Peloton.

Nobody would ever suspect that I … Golf right - handed and bat left - handed. This may explain my ineptitude with both.

My favorite song right now is … Anything Foo Fighters. Always puts me in a good mood.

What you like about being a part of the TCBA … The collegiality. Knowing a good number of the local bar members on a first - name basis is a huge positive of being part of TCBA and its events.
