Civil Law Legal Assistance: Lawyers Study Guide.

Abstract

The legal assistance program of the Navy has been in operation since 1943. Firmly established in 1954 by the Secretary of the Navy Instruction 5801.1, it continues to serve the Navy in improving the morale of its personnel and in reducing disciplinary problems. Through it, members of the Navy and their dependents are able to obtain required legal services from judge advocates in the naval service and civilian DoD employees. This volume is a lawyers study guide and is used to assist lawyers in providing legal service to primarily active duty personnel, reservists and their families. Some topics discussed in this volume include interviewing and client counseling, preventive law programs, estate planning, family support, family law, separation agreements, consumers laws, income tax law, and a discussion of legislation such as the Soldiers and Sailors Civil Relief Act and the Uniformed Services Former Spouses Protection Act.
