DIILS recently graduated 15 students from our Military Justice Resident Course. Countries represented were Egypt, Kenya, Lithuania, Slovak Republic, Moldova, Mongolia, Republic of North Macedonia, Nigeria, Nepal, Philippines, Sierra Leone, Ukraine, Burkina Faso, and Zambia. The three week Military Justice course provides a comprehensive overview of the U.S. military justice system and comparative analysis of other military justice systems. Topics include comparative law, procedural due process, evidentiary practice, trial advocacy, non-judicial alternatives to courts martial, appeals, the role of judges and forensic science. Participants determine best practices in military justice based upon comparison of the U.S. and other military justice systems. Congratulations to the 2020 MILJUS Class!
