Episode 188 - Next Lawyer Up with Ron Sykstus featuring Dean Emeritus Eugene Milhizer

Eugene (Gene) Milhizer is the Dean Emeritus at Ave Maria School of Law. He has served at that law school as a law professor for over twenty years and he ultimately rose to the position of president of the law school, in addition to his teaching role. If there is one person I have ever met that should be a law professor, it is Gene Milhizer. I first got to know him when he was a law professor at the U.S. Army’s JAG school in Charlottesville, Virginia. While on active duty, I followed his career for several years since he was some years ahead of me in the Army. It was not hard to follow Gene's career because, for probably a six year period, I never read a monthly Army Lawyer magazine or the quarterly Military Law Review that didn't feature a scholarly legal article written by Gene. When I say he was and is a prolific writer, that phrase doesn’t really do justice to the sheer volume of material that Gene has written. It is now really no surprise that he has turned into a novelist and he has written several books. Here is a link to his website so if you get a chance to pick up his books, please do so. I can't think of many better writers on a nationwide scale that I know and I like to think that I'm pretty well read! I enjoyed getting to know Gene’s story on this episode of the podcast.
