So, some people then ask how did you get to be a law professor and why? These are fair questions and I will try to answer them for you with this post.
GUEST POST
Hello to all the readers out there. Let me answer a couple of questions that readers are curious about. Namely, readers often ask am I a real law professor and am I really a lawyer? Well folks the answers are: yes, and yes! I graduated from Harvard Law School, passed the Bar Examination and went to work for four years for the law firm of Baker Hostetler, a large nationwide law firm where I did tax and litigation work. I now teach at the Barry University School of Law in Florida.
So, some people then ask how did you get to be a law professor and why? These are fair questions and I will try to answer them for you with this post.
I had a wonderful twenty- five year career as a trial lawyer and a diplomat. After my four years with the Baker Hostetler law firm I applied and was selected by the U.S. State Department to be a Foreign Service Officer. My first two overseas assignments were in Nigeria. After my second assignment in Nigeria I transferred over to the U.S. Department of Justice to work in my hometown of Washington, D.C. as a federal prosecutor for the District of Columbia where I worked for five years. I then spent a sixth year on assignment as a federal prosecutor to the U.S. Virgin Islands. I then transferred back to the U.S. State Department and resumed my work as a Foreign Service Officer with postings in Hamburg, Germany and Nassau Bahamas.
After my Bahamas tour I decided to leave government service and open my own law practice in Washington, D.C. where I did mainly trial work that centered on criminal law defense and representation of clients seeking political asylum in the United States. After ten years of practice and numerous trials, I thought about slowing down a bit and wished to do some teaching and writing. In 1998, I got the chance to come on board at a new Florida law school – Barry University School of Law. I have been here ever since. Barry allows me to write and teach. It is a wonderful job. The legal and diplomatic experience I received over the years have helped me to become a good teacher. I hope to continue teaching and writing humor books for a few more years.

What, no criminals from Florida? We have our fair share of dumb criminals here too, unfortunately. It will probably take Professor Birdsong 10 years to write about the criminals here!
