Line design
By Derrick Carman

Like many academically inclined children of the '80s and '90s, I spent a fair amount of my youth with my friends in a basement playing Dungeons & Dragons. Equipped with a stack of reference books, pencil and paper, and a collection of polyhedral dice, we dreamed up all sorts of wild adventures.

It's not as sad as it sounds, I promise. We had a blast. Now, 25-plus years later, I still play D&D as often as I can. And thanks to the miracles of modern technology, I still play with some of those same people from middle and high school.

This hobby helped pave the way for my career as a lawyer, and particularly as a litigator by providing foundational skills and practice that translate seamlessly from the tabletop to the courtroom.
