#86: Let's Get Personal with Christopher Bailey, Judge Advocate, United States Air Force and Assistant Professor of Law at the United States Air Force Academy

We're starting the new year with Christopher Bailey, a Judge Advocate in the United States Air Force and an Assistant Professor of Law at the United States Air Force Academy. Over Chris's 15 years in the Air Force, he has traveled across the country and around the world to advise on issues including international humanitarian law and the law of armed conflict. Chris shares how a passion for international relations that started in undergrad, coupled with an important mentorship in law school, inspired him to pursue a career in the Air Force JAG Corps. We learned so much throughout this conversation with Chris and have no doubt this episode will help you to start the new year feeling energized!
