The Military Justice Society is dedicated to supporting student veterans and those aspiring to become a Judge Advocate General (JAG) Officer in any JAG Corps. By joining, students are given firsthand opportunities to network with current JAG Officers in all branches of the U.S. military. Students are also exposed to critical legal issues concerning military law and are introduced to different kinds of opportunities to work around these legal issues.
Through our knowledge and experience, we guide students through the JAG Corps’ competitive and rigorous application process. MC Law has alumni in every branch of the U.S. military. Many of these alumni who are also JAG Officers are regularly hosted by our organization to give students insight into life with their rewarding career. In addition, our sponsors, Dean Rosenblatt and Professor Rosenblatt, both former Army JAG Officers, offer extensive mentorship by advising students on their paths as they are joining the JAG Corps. These sponsors enrich students’ education by teaching courses on military law, leading Forces Law Review, coordinating visits to overseas Army installations on international study abroad trips, and more.
Many servicemembers experience the sincerest camaraderie while serving. We organize volunteer opportunities and events to foster camaraderie among student veterans. In addition, we encourage our members to participate in the Veterans Legal Aid Clinic. Led by retired Lieutenant Colonel Joel Jones, the Veterans Clinic gives students exposure to the workings of various state and federal institutions that relate to veterans. The clinic also allows students to serve veterans by being a listening ear and confidante to help with legal issues.
Through our commitment to servant leadership, the Military Justice Society ensures students receive the mentorship and educational opportunities they need to succeed in both civilian and military legal careers.
