The more time I spend in self-reflection, the more I know I want to practice law, and more importantly within that, protect the integrity of the Internet and those who use it – both people and business. It’s simply what I want to do, it compliments my holistic background in IT, and I feel it is something I am genuinely and uniquely qualified for. Being somewhat of an ideologue, iconoclast, and objectivist, the law field is irresistible in itself!

But alas another fork in the road has presented itself recently. I was selected to come on board (transfer) to a position with the department of the Army. My new position will require ITIL certification for which I was already working toward. I’ll be dual-hatted as the Problem and Change Management Officer. I am surrounded by enormous talent – my supervisor and another peer are certified business continuity planners, several are ITIL certified, and there is an ITIL Expert on staff as well.

This is an exceptional opportunity to learn more of an area, IT Service Management, that I actually have very little experience and exposure to. But more importantly I think this is fundamentally critical, if not prerequisite, to being an effective lawyer in this field, pragmatically speaking.

So, it looks like law school is on hold for at least a year. I’ll go ahead and take the LSAT in August/September to see how realistic applying to Duke and UNC law schools actually is. I’ll cross that bridge when it gets there, and with the consultation of my wife, supervisors, and peers.

For the meantime I have something new and exciting to learn, explore, and master! Good times ahead!
