After 4 years in the ROTC, I thought I’d pretty much run the gambit on being dressed down in front of my colleagues.
Then I had the honor of studying Tort Law under Professor Vincent R. Johnson at St. Mary’s…
The discussion – or rather, first-year law-vomit – Prof. Johnson entertained led me down the path to practicing the kind of civil litigation I do today.
Our conversation begins with a reflection on the life of the Justice Ginsberg.
As a Supreme Court Fellow (1988-89) serving Chief Justice William Rehnquist, Johnson has been fortunate enough to rub shoulders with those overseeing the highest court in the land.
I promise the hiking story alone is worth the listen.
Prof. Johnson & I also discuss the changing landscape of the American Legal Education system & the impact that online education has on fully engaging in the Socratic dialogues so vital to legal training.
The prolific author of seven books & countless legal articles, my conversation with Prof. John was both nostalgic & prescient.
I hope you enjoy the conversation.
