Military Law covers the laws that govern individuals who serve in the U.S. armed forces. A military lawyer may work in a variety of legal areas, providing legal advice to service members or the arms of the military, including the Air Force, Marine Corps, Army, Navy, and Coast Guard. A military lawyer may serve as an advocate for veterans, helping to secure benefits. Military law is a distinct area of the law, which requires military lawyers to be familiar with federal and state military laws, regulations, and administrative decisions.
For additional information on Military Law, see the Judge Advocates Association, Military Affairs (Florida Bar), or Military Lawyers (ABA).
