Military Law Development Program (MLDP I) (MASL P176026)
MLDP I combines several DIILS programs to provide military legal advisors with a comprehensive military law curriculum which includes military justice and operational law. The operational law component covers international law, human rights law, law of armed conflict, and rules of engagement. Participants practice providing legal advice to commanders in role-playing exercises. The military justice component features advanced legal concepts in criminal law, procedural due process, and a comparative analysis of military law of other nations.
Participants visit the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces in Washington, D.C. and discuss military law with practitioners. They visit with key United Nations officials at UN Headquarters in New York City, and take part in cultural familiarization activities in Newport, RI, Boston, MA, New York City, and Washington D.C.
