This lunch talk will feature visiting United States Air Force Judge Advocates from Travis AFB. They will share their experiences working in various sectors of military law to include administrative law, military justice law, national security law, and more. This will serve as an informal lecture and Q&A style event. Please RSVP if you would like lunch. 

The CDO and Berkeley Law are strongly committed to the principle of equal opportunity for all persons and to respecting the gender identity of every student. The Trump Administration’s policy of excluding transgender people from military service is antithetical to our values as an institution and violates our non-discrimination policies. But for a federal law known as the Solomon Amendment requiring that we permit military recruitment or face losing approximately $750 million in federal funding, the military would not be permitted to recruit here under our non-discrimination policy. The military’s participation in recruiting does not reflect acceptance of, or agreement with, the military’s discriminatory hiring practices against transgender people. We also recognize that not everyone who serves in the military agrees with the policy.
