Although military law and justice issues are at the core of many contemporary national security debates, they tend to get short shrift in academic discourse. This panel of experts—each of whom has served as either a uniformed or civilian military lawyer—will attempt to rectify that shortcoming, covering topics including the current state of civil/military relations; the ongoing controversy over stop-loss; the continuing implications of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell; current issues in the military criminal justice system; and the more general relationship between military law and national security law today. Separate from these individual topics, the panel will focus more generally on the state of military law, and on areas for both substantive and pedagogical reform going forward.
