In this episode, we learn about Mark Nevitt's incredible journey from entering the Navy as a line officer flying the venerable S-3 Viking from the USS CONSTELLATION (CV-64) to serving in the Navy JAGC and now as a law school professor following his retirement in 2017 after a 20-year career.  Mark provides some great insight into the different paths to becoming a tenured law school professor, including the narrow path available for JAGs desiring to enter academia, the importance of scholarly writing, the willingness to teach different areas of the law, and how other former JAGs-turned-law-professors helped him.  A must listen for anyone thinking of becoming a law school professor.

Mark is currently an Associate Professor of Law at the Syracuse University College of Law, but will join the Emory University College of Law on June 1st.  A prolific writer, Mark has had several articles published in several law reviews, and has been a frequent contributor to NYU's Just Security blog and Penn Law's Regulatory Review.  Mark's LinkedIn profile is available at https://www.linkedin.com/in/marknevitt/.  This conversation was recorded April 22, 2022.
