Howdy, folks. I’m Butch Bracknell. James Joyner and the brain trust at OTB have recently invited me to become a regular contributor. I hope I don’t let them down. I served 22 years in the Marines as an armor officer and then as a lawyer. I now work for NATO as an innovation, procurement, IT, and international lawyer. I attended and graduated from North Carolina, University of Maryland Law, and Harvard Law.
My topics will likely focus on law, ethics, innovation, sports, and the intersection between law and policy, but I won’t limit myself to those topics, per James’ invitation. First post going up now.
I welcome all connections on LinkedIn.
EVERY opinion on OTB is mine alone and should not be attributed to NATO or any other organization to which I might be or might have been associated.
