This partnership recognizes the need for this type of training in the Department of Defense and directly aligns with and supports the department’s direction toward innovation.

Educational partnership agreements with the Air Force historically have been reserved for STEM programs and students, and just recently expanded to include business, law, and technology transfer educational programs and students. This is the first educational partnership agreement between the Air Force and a law school.
