A Message from the President

I am honored to serve as your new President and privileged to be associated with the noble mission of Judge Advocates and practitioners of military law.  It is remarkably gratifying to be part of an organization that represents the best in two great professions, the profession of law and the profession of arms.  As the premier professional legal association for the military bar, we have a duty to represent the interests of practitioners, as well as to serve as guardians of the military legal system.   

To that end, I ask that our members look for opportunities to become more energetically involved in our association.  Participate in events like “Jobs for JAGs” and the annual awards dinner, join the JAA Inn of Court, write “think pieces” for the quarterly newsletter and web-site, and recruit new members.  Please let me know how our association can be more engaged, responsive and relevant.  Send me an email and stay tuned for how your suggestions helped build the strategic goals of our association.

Major General Altenburg leaves huge shoes to fill and I thank him for his leadership, dedication and service as President.  He is a tough act to follow.  With your help, I am confident that we will continue to build on General Altenburg’s success and move to even higher levels.

Thank you for the opportunity to serve. 

-Marc Warren
