FIVE SERVICES, ONE JAG ASSOCIATION

Established in 1943 by a core group of committed Army judge advocates, today’s JAA includes current, retired, and former active and reserve component judge advocates from the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard.  Our membership also includes private practitioners, law students, academic faculty, and others with an interest in military law. Because the JAA is an affiliate of the American Bar Association and a voting member of the ABA House of Delegates, membership gives you a seat at the table and an opportunity to be heard on matters affecting military legal practice.
