Welcome to the Military Law Section

military law section logoThe Military Law Section serves attorneys who have an interest in how Virginia law affects military personnel, functions, and operations, and is thus suitable for attorneys whose clients are members of the military. The section is open to any member of the bar who is in good standing, members of the judiciary, military attorneys, and law students. The section sponsors continuing legal education programs and publishes and distributes educational materials, including a newsletter, for its members.
