New issue of JAG magazine online

I'll be out of town for a couple of days, so I want to give you something to read while I'm gone. The new issue of JAG magazine (or, as I like to call it, JAGMAG) is available here. It includes an article on the newly renovated building that now houses the Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals and the two naval appellate divisions. I recently had a chance to see the new NMCCA courtroom (a picture of which is on page 18 of the JAGMAG) and it's far from an architectural triumph. I'll post some thoughts about the new courtroom this coming weekend.

In addition to being away tomorrow through very late Thursday, I'll be on the road Sunday and maybe Saturday as well. I hope my colleagues keep you informed in the meantime. The good news is that I plan to buy a G1 when they come out later this month, so this may be the last time I'm off the Web just because I'm traveling.

Other than some uncomfortable "pews" for the spectators I didn't see too many problems with the courtroom.

Judging by that issue I would say the number one priority of JAG is to get more black officers.

Discount the enlisted pages, then do a page count.

It still makes no sense. A page count of what? Numbers of black officers? Do you view that as a good thing or a bad thing. then again I don't think a blog about military justice is a forum to discuss race or diversity in the JAGC.

You two anons may be in a heated agreement - both of you half-right.

The featured article is "Recruiting for a Diverse Corps," the cover is about "Outreach," and there is nothing wrong with the JAG Corps seeking to increase the number of black officers. That's a good thing. Plus, we're about to have a black president. Its a brave new world.
