Still, today was my last day of work at the firm.  I am leaving clients and the &#8220;real world&#8221; behind for the ivory tower.  In the summer of 1998, I decided that I wanted to be a law professor when I grew up.  I had always thought that I would become a philosophy professor, but I came to three conclusions that summer.  First, I was not a particularly good philosopher.  Second, given this fact it was unlikely that I could get a job as a philosopher.  Third, I decided that at the end of the day I was a dilettante.  I love philosophy, economics, politics, public policy, and history.  So I looked for a discipline that rewarded dilettantism, and hit upon the law.  Now, roughly eight years later, it looks as though it is going to actually happen.  I have been looking forward to a small office full of books on jurisprudence for a long time.  I am just happy that life, fate, and the Lord have seen fit to let me have it.  Sometimes life is very difficult and contrary, but sometimes it gives us just what we desire.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am not longer an attorney.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3190","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-corn"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/timesandseasons.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3190","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/timesandseasons.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/timesandseasons.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/timesandseasons.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/timesandseasons.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3190"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/timesandseasons.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3190\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/timesandseasons.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3190"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/timesandseasons.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3190"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/timesandseasons.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3190"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
