From Pro Basketball To Biglaw, No Matter The Court, You'll Still Work Your Ass Off
How did this former WNBA player make the transition to litigator?
In basketball, working yourself to death physically pays off to a certain point, but then you have to be careful because you don’t want to get injured. It’s similar here. I have to put things down and go home.
Now it’s time to be a champion in a different court. And this time I get to win on behalf of someone else. That’s the piece I’m really looking forward to.
— Iciss Rose Tillis, formerly of the Detroit Shock, the New York Liberty, and the Los Angeles Sparks, commenting on the similarities between her WNBA career and her new career as an associate at Jackson Lewis.
