Cody White - Dean's Fellows
2L, Troup, Texas | University of Texas at Tyler
My name is Cody White, and I am a 2L at KU Law. Before law school I served in the Marine Corps for 16 years and retired in 2022. I was a Criminal Justice major in undergrad, and I am originally from Troup, TX. I am an officer in the Native American Law Students Association and the Military and Veterans Law Society here at KU Law. During 1L I competed in the National Native American Law Students Association Moot Court Competition. This summer I interned for a Federal Judge in Wichita, KS.
Outside of law school, I enjoy running, cycling and taking my dog to the off-leash dog park here in Lawrence. I am married and my wife and I love to travel. During 1L we traveled to four different countries and various different cities in the US.
My advice for 1Ls is to treat law school like a job. This is a professional school so treating it like a profession will help you develop great habits for when you graduate and go into the real world. This means being kind to your colleagues (classmates), diligent with your assignments (readings) and setting healthy boundaries (time management) to enjoy life while you are here.
