Years ago while a senior in high school, Robert Keogh wrote a paper that won an award after catching the attention of the North Dakota Bar Association.
At the time young Keogh didn’t know what he wanted to pursue as a career, but his award-winning paper got him thinking about the possibility of a law profession. Later, while a student at North Dakota State University in Fargo, he read a book by trial lawyer Louis Nizer, which piqued his interest even further.
