Publisher's Synopsis
The Operational Law Handbook is a "how to" guide for Judge Advocates practicing operational law. It provides references and describes tactics and techniques for the practice of operational law. The Operational Law Handbook is not a substitute for official references. Like operational law itself, the Handbook is a focused collection of diverse legal and practical information. The handbook is not intended to provide "the school solution" to a particular problem, but to help Judge Advocates recognize, analyze, and resolve problems they will encounter in the operational context. The Handbook IS NOT an official representation of U.S. policy regarding the binding application of various sources of law, and should not be used as such. However, the Handbook may reference source documents that do. The Handbook was designed and written for junior and mid-level Judge Advocates practicing operational law. Simply put, the Handbook is made for the Soldiers, Marines, Sailors, Airmen, and Coast Guardsmen of the military Judge Advocate General's Corps, who serve alongside their clients in the operational context.
