DIILS Observership (MASL P183080)

DIILS Observerships can be utilized to respond to a multitude of individual country needs.  By way of example, the Judicial Observership provides an opportunity for judges and legal personnel to work one-on-one with U.S. civilian or military judges and observe a judge perform his or her daily responsibilities of preparing for and trying cases, decision-making, and working within the judicial system. 

Other Observerships might focus on such topics as investigations, trial advocacy, claims, or other aspects of military law.

DIILS Observership Participants

Observerships are tailored for individuals with professional qualifications that match the individuals they will be observing.  Individuals should be fluent in English and be capable of independent action during the Observership.

Costs involved in a DIILS Observership

Costs include travel and living allowances, plus any costs unique to the specific Observership location.  As the length of Observerships may vary and generally last a week or longer, individual Observership costs must be determined when they are programmed.
