Both his 1L and 2L summers were spent in litigation firms. With an eye on sports, Casey joined the National Sports Lawyers’ Association and served as the USC Sports Law Society’s President. After graduation in May of 2013, and while studying for the July CA Bar Exam, Casey began as a temporary employee with NFL Media.
