Current and historical reports are released periodically.
HeinOnline has developed the Military Legal Resources (U.S. Army JAG School) in conjunction with the William Winthrop Memorial Library of the U.S. Army Judge Advocate General’s School to replace the Winthrop Library’s Military Legal Resources collection previously hosted by the Library of Congress. The goal of the collection is exhaustiveness. It aims to collect every current and historical military legal document and resource needed by judge advocates, law school professors, and members of the general public interested in military law. New materials will be added to the collection on a regular basis.
Highlights of the collection include the personal library of Francis Lieber, who, at the request of President Abraham Lincoln in 1863 during the Civil War, drafted General Orders 100, the first code of the law of armed conflict on land. Considered by legal scholars to be the first American law school professor, Francis Lieber’s monumental work has come to be known throughout the world as the “Lieber Code” and serves as the foundation of the law of armed conflict to this day.
The collection contains an extensive collection of hard to find documents from the personal library of international law scholar Colonel Howard S. Levie, JAGC, U.S. Army, dealing with the drafting and enactment of the Geneva Conventions of August 12, 1949. The Final Record of the Diplomatic Conference of Geneva of 1949, the Official Records of the 1974-1977 Geneva Conference which led to the Additional Protocols of June 8, 1977, and the 1987 Commentary are made available for the scholar and researcher in one collection.
The war crimes trials of major German leaders held in Nuremberg in 1945-1946, a focus of international law scholars to this day, are a prominent part of the collection along with the United Nation’s Law Reports of Trial of Selected War Criminals. Hein and JAG combined to produce paper reprints of these sets twenty-five years ago to ensure their continued availability for scholars. Previously unavailable materials such as the record of trial of Japanese Army General Tomoyuki Yamashita in Manila in 1945 and the 1946 record of trial of SS Officer Joachim Peiper and other German soldiers for the Malmedy Massacre of U.S. POW’s during the Battle of the Bulge are included. The collection also includes the U.S. Army’s investigation of the 1968 My Lai Massacre, commonly known as the Peers Inquiry.
The collection contains all congressional documents and Manual for Courts Martial dealing with the Articles of War which served as the Army’s military justice system during World War I and World War II. The collection contains all congressional documents and Manuals for Court Martial dealing with the Uniform Code of Military Justice which Congress enacted in 1950 in order to provide servicemembers with rights similar to those they enjoyed in their respective states prior to joining the military. Congressional floor debate, hearings, House and Senate Reports, and Department of Defemse studies dealing with the military justice system are included.
All issues of military law periodicals such as the Military Law Review, the Naval Law Review, The Air Force Law Review, and The Army Lawyer are conveniently located in one collection. The collection contains all of the authoritative military law deskbooks written by the faculty of the Army JAG School such as the Contract Attorneys Deskbook, the Fiscal Law Deskbook, and the Operational Law Handbook. These publications are updated annually. New editions will be added to the Military Legal Resources collection as soon as they are released.
The collection also contains theses written by students in the Army JAG School’s ABA-approved LL.M. program. Each thesis has been written by a military officer who is a graduate of an ABA-approved law school and has been admitted to practice before the bar of the highest court of one of the fifty states or a U.S. territory. These theses were originally distributed as part of Hein’s Legal Theses and Dissertations over twenty years ago. Each thesis is an in-depth treatment of an area of military law such as emoluments of military service and is often the only work to be found in that area.
The collection also contains rare 19th century works on military law and military justice by American and British authors. All works by Colonel William Winthrop, after whom the Army JAG School Library is named, are also included. The collection contains the only complete collection of Winthrop’s Digests of Opinions, Abridgments of Military Law, and his classic treatises Military Law (1886), Military Law and Precedents (1896), and the 1920 GPO reprint of Military Law and Precedents.
