The Judge Advocates Association
The Judge Advocates Association is a national professional society organized in 1943 by a small group of Army judge advocates in Washington, D.C. Over more than sixty years of existence, the membership has broadened and is now composed of active duty and retired judge advocates of all services as well as private practitioners with an interest in military law. The Judge Advocates Association is the only national professional legal organization exclusively dedicated to judge advocates and practitioners of military law. It is a constant voice for the community it serves. As an affiliate of the American Bar Association, the Judge Advocates Association is a member having a vote in the ABA House of Delegates and has raised many issues of concern to judge advocates and practitioners of military law.
The Judge Advocates Association Inn of Court
The JAA Inn of Court, sponsored by the Judge Advocates Association, combines members of the bench, bar, students, and friends for professional development. Each Inn session begins with an opportunity for attendees to share a collegial dinner, followed by a 90-minute presentation on topics of interest. Each season we seek a balance of trial skills and substantive sessions.
