It is hard to believe my two-year term as Editor-in-Chief of the Defense Counsel Journal (DCJ) has come to an end. It has been an honor serving the organization. I have been humbled by the opportunity to work with the many authors who have contributed time and effort to make the DCJ one of the premier legal journals in the world. The knowledge, experience, and analysis that our authors brought to the DCJ over the past two years is second to none and being part of the process has been a highlight for me.
