    Meet Tom Ayers

    The Robert S. Strauss Center for International Security and Law is hosting a visit by the Deputy Judge Advocate General of the U.S. Army, Tom Ayers. We’ve arranged a session for him to speak with students interested in the possibility of a JAG career, Army or otherwise, and of course it would be interesting as well for those who don’t plan such a career but nonetheless want a better understanding of military lawyers. We’ll meet at 1:50 p.m., and go for no longer than an hour. If you have a partial conflict and would have to show up late or leave early, that is entirely OK. At any rate, if you wish to attend please contact Robert Chesney, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, at rchesney@law.utexas.edu.
