NIMJ has posted links to the web cast of the Cox Commission’s 16 June public hearing here.

The Cox Commission will hold its public hearing next Tuesday, 16 June, starting at 0900. The location is the GWU Law moot courtroom. I understand that the hearing will be webcast here.

Here is a link to a NIMJ Program on ways to remedy the problem of access to courts-martial dockets. Panelists include Lucy Dalglish, Executive Director, Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press; Nayna Malayang, LLM Candidate, WCL & NIMJ Dean’s Fellow; Commander Stephen McCleary, Coast Guard’s Office of Military Justice; Michelle McCluer, Executive Director, National Institute of Military Justice( Moderator).

H/T to the Moderator

Here’s a neat feature on CAAF’s web site. CAAF has posted lecture materials from four of the presentations at this year’s Judicial Conference.

The FBA’s Pentagon Chapter has asked us to post the announcement and pamphlet (which includes the speakers and schedule) for the 2009 Jobs for JAGs program, which we are happy to do. The program will be held on 8 May at the Army & Navy Club.

The announcement explains:

This full-day event is designed for junior and senior military attorneys transitioning from active duty to civilian or government practice. The seminar will feature panels of top attorneys from the Department of Justice and other government agencies, as well as from private practice and industry, to share tips and insights on finding employment. Many of the panelists are retired or former Judge Advocates and will share their tips on selling your skills as a JAG to government employers, law firms, and corporations.

The cost is $40 on or before 1 May and $80 afterwards, including at the door.

Last chance to register for the on-line ABA-CLE tomorrow on Criminal Accountability for Civilians in the Battle Space. The program will cover the application of amended Art. 2(a)(10), UCMJ to civilians and US government contractors, my favorite topic, as well as MEJA and Special Territorial and Maritime Jurisdiction. Note, I am moderating the panel, thus why this is a shameless plug. That may discourage registration, but I’ll take that chance.

Link to registration page here. Sorry, no CAAFlog reader discount could be negotiated.

Our very own No Man, Mike Navarre of Steptoe & Johnson LLP, will be moderating an ABA teleconference and webcast CLE program called “Criminal Accountability for Civilians in the Battle Space” on 19 March from noon to 1330 EDT. Here’s a link to information about the program. Among Mike’s panelists will be Bob Reed of DOD OGC.

Should we start a pool on when the No Man will moderate an ABA CLE program on Apprendi?

In this week dominated by CAAF’s Judicial Conference, it seems appropriate to talk about CLE. On 18 March, Chief Judge O’Toole of NMCCA will be speaking to the Judge Advocates Association American Inn of Court. His topic is “Trial Preparation by Reverse Engineering.” Information should be available here. (In case that link isn’t working, the program announcement is also posted here.)

On 8 April, the Deputy Judge Advocate General of the Army, Major General Daniel V. Wright, will be speaking to the Inn. His topic will be “Civility and Professionalism in the Courts.”

Speaking of CLE, there’s an ALI-ABA program coming up in Philly on 23 April that sounds interesting: Trials of the Century, featuring analysis of the O.J. case, the Scopes Monkey Trial, the Lindbergh kidnapping trial, Nuremberg, Clarence Darrow’s L.A. Times bombing trial, and the Clinton impeachment.

I don’t think I can justify taking the time away from work to go. On the other hand, I could train up and back in the same day and it is within walking distance of Morimoto–one of the Kabul Klipper’s favorite restaurants . . . .

CAAF updated its web site’s Judicial Conference page today by revealing the identity of Senior Administration Official #1 and Senior Administration Official #2. The lead off speaker will be DOD Principal Deputy General Counsel Dan Dell’Orto. The second speaker will be Amy Jeffress, Counselor to the Attorney General of the United States.

Sorry, but that means no winner in our latest CAAFlog contest.
