Military Law and Veterans Society (MILVETS) at PACE

The Military Law and Veterans Society (MILVETS) is dedicated to providing a forum for the discussion, debate, and education of current topics in the military law arena, particularly those related to students, educators, and practitioners of military law. We work to provide resources for Elisabeth Haub School of Law students to learn more about military law and how to become a Judge Advocate General (JAG) Officer. We also host events to raise funds for local veteran's organizations.
