9. Tom Jones: Singer, Rancher, Country Gentleman Lawyer
Mar 05, 2022•20 min•Ep 9•Transcript available on Metacast Episode description
I caught up with Tom Jones, who retired from the Navy JAG Corps in December 2019, this past July, explaining how he went from serving as the deputy staff judge advocate at a combatant command to the panhandle of Oklahoma, where he is a now a rancher, lawyer, and holding public officer. (Spoiler alert: he is not Kevin Costner in Yellowstone.) Along the way, Tom explains how he had to take the indirect approach in order to gain admission to the Oklahoma bar without sitting for a bar examination, how a U.S. Marine judge advocate who sought the do the same thing a year or two earlier paved the way, and reminds us that no matter how long one has served, one is a lawyer whose skill sets transcend career progression.
