Military Legal Resource Update

The Federal Research Division (FRD) of the Library of Congress is pleased to announce that the FRD "Military Legal Resources" Web site, sponsored and funded by the U.S. Army Judge Advocate General's Legal Center & School (TJAGLCS) Library, has just been updated.

Two attachments were referred to on the last page of the December 13, 1946 "Report of the War Department Advisory Committee on Military Justice to the Honorable, the Secretary of War" (also known as "the Vanderbilt Report")
http://www.loc.gov/rr/frd/Military_Law/UCMJ_LHP.html.

These documents were located in the National Archives, scanned, converted to full text, and linked on the Military Legal Resources site. They are now linked on the last page of the Vanderbilt Report. These documents are: A cover letter from Dean Vanderbilt and the report "The Administration of Military Justice: A Survey of Constructive Criticisms Received by the War Department's Advisory Committee on Military Justice), and the 71-page "Topical Outline -- Compilation of Answers -- Generals, Judge Advocates, Enlisted Men.

These two documents can also be accessed from the "New" section on the home page.
