Hello from Austin and welcome to episode 23 of the National Security Law Podcasts.

We're brought to you by the Strauss Center at the University of Texas. It's Monday night,

February 13, 2003. I'm Bobby Chesley. I'm Steve Lodick. I am so losing this bet. I'm

screwed. We might as well just go out to dinner now. We'll take the summer off. Steve, we're not

alone. What is going on here? We're not alone. We have once again against, I don't know,

maybe our better judgment, auctioned off guest hosting the podcast

as part of the Texas Law Fellowships annual auction

for sponsoring public interest internships.

And somehow two of our current and former students

agreed to join us.

So hello, hello current slash former students.

Sam and Alex, welcome to the show. Let's get

you guys introducing yourselves. Sam, why on you go first? Sure. And thank y'all. This is an

awesome opportunity. So I'm Sam Libby. I'm a third year at World Three-Ls at UT Law. A bit about me. Sam Sam say that again. It froze right as you're introducing

yourself. I assume that gets cut. Okay. Well, you're assuming a lot. That depends on, on, you know,

how nice you are to us in the rest of the episode. Okay. This is a podcast. Fair enough. I'm Sam Libby. I'm a 3L at UT Law. A bit about me. I worked at a

consulting firm for a couple of years in New York and Boston before law school. I'm originally from

Dallas. In the National Security Law Front, kind of, I did an internship at the White House National Economic Council in college, and my one-year, I interned at the Eastern District of New York Criminal Division. So super interested in this stuff, very excited to be on here.

And currently in the world's greatest federal courts class.

Of course.

No complaints whatsoever until the grades get posted.

And Alex, how about you?
