Learn how the Army is leading change in criminal justice

Military Justice—Learning and Leading Change in American Criminal Justice (Webinar) Sponsored by the ABA Criminal Justice Section Friday, February 19, 2021 3:00-4:30 pm Eastern

The military justice system has undergone tremendous change over the past twenty years—in many ways attempting to emulate or keep pace with civilian criminal justice. Now, as the American criminal justice system grapples with the complexities of sexual assault prosecutions and the mainstream call for criminal justice reform, particularly in the area of sexual assault prosecutions, appellate review, and protecting the rights of the accused, many of the military justice system’s policies are being recognized and hailed as truly progressive. Join an esteemed panel of military justice experts from the Army Judge Advocate General’s Corps as they delve into the progressive nature of the military justice system and discuss how we are leading change in criminal justice and where we go from here.
