Lets enlisted service members serve longer and still get military-funded law school.
This bill would let enlisted members of the military serve up to 10 years on active duty and still qualify for Department of Defense-funded law school. Currently, they lose this eligibility after eight years of service. This change would give more flexibility to those seeking to become military lawyers.
Today, an enlisted member can serve a maximum of eight years on active duty and still be eligible for Department of Defense funding to attend law school. If this bill becomes law, that maximum would increase to 10 years, giving enlisted members more time to decide on and pursue a legal career with military support.
