  MISSION

The National Institute of Military Justice (NIMJ) is a District of Columbia non-profit corporation organized in 1991 to advance the fair administration of military justice and foster improved public understanding of the military justice system. NIMJ is not a government agency.

NIMJ’s boards of directors and advisors include law professors, private practitioners, and other experts – none of whom are on active duty, but most of whom have served as military lawyers, several as flag and general officers. NIMJ is affiliated with the Washington College of Law, American University.
  SERVICES

NIMJ does not provide legal services or represent individuals.

It does, however, comment on regulations and legislation, and regularly appears as an amicus curiae (friend of the court) in cases raising important issues of military justice law and policy.

NIMJ's staff, officers, directors and advisors are available to the media to explain the operation of the military justice system.
