The February 2007 issue of the Journal of Legal Economics includes an article of potential interest to military justice practitioners. Paul C. Taylor & Laura J. Taylor, Evaluating the Financial Cost of an Involuntary Military Separation, 14 J. Legal Econ. 1 (2007). The article provides a helpful discussion of how to calculate the expected value of a military retirement -- a figure that will often be useful at a court-martial or admin discharge board. The article is marred by a couple of references to CAAF as the "Court of Appeals for the Armed Services." See id. at 3.
