Captain Jeremy de Roxas, Assistant Staff Judge Advocate
Chief of Contract Law, 72 ABW
Most Air Force base legal offices have between three and ten Judge Advocates assigned. One of the primary clients at any base is the installation commander, with responsibilities similar to those of a mayor; as a result, the variety of legal problems is virtually limitless. Judge Advocates are involved with problems concerning discipline and criminal law; claims for and against the government; legal assistance; and other areas such as environmental and real property law, general law, civil law, international law, operational law and labor law. The degree of activity in these areas of the law will vary from base to base. Students interested in exploring these opportunities are encouraged to attend. Further information can be obtained at www.jagusaf.hq.af.mil.
The military's policy of discrimination based on sexual orientation is inconsistent with Oklahoma City University School of Law's non-discrimination policy under AALS Bylaw 6-4 (b). In no way does the presence of the military at the law school suggest that Oklahoma City University School of Law condones such discrimination. Concerned students should contact the PCDC.
