You should do what is going to be best for you in the long run. I am not saying to give up officiating basketball, but you have to decide what is more important right now. Going to Law school is a life long accomplishment if you finish. You will have many opportunities officiating. Law School is just a short period of time in your life; you have the rest of your life to officiate. Now I do not know how old you are and that would also be a factor in what I would personally do, but it would only be a small factor. If you feel you cannot do both just talk to the assignor. If you think you can do both, just organize your life to make it work. There is no right or wrong here. I do not know what kind of skills you have juggling many things in your life. You might be perfectly able to do both and you might not be able to do both. I think you just have to decide what is more important to you.

I agree with Jeff totally. Be honest, tell this man your schedule, let him know you are interested but you are at a part of your life where you will have to juggle both.

Any person should understand that you are in school and your officiating career can be put on hold.

But try to work with him.
