AboutAbout the Quarterly

National Security Law Quarterly is a professional bulletin published four times per year by Headquarters, U.S. Army, under the auspices of the Center for Law and Military Operations, The Judge Advocate General's Legal Center and School, Charlottesville, Virginia, for the purpose of the education and performance of legal responsibilities.

The National Security Law Quarterly contains practical articles for national security law practitioners. The Center for Law and Military Operations (CLAMO) has published the NSLQ since 2015. Prior to the 20-3 issue, CLAMO published NSLQ as Operational Law Quarterly. CLAMO publishes the National Security Law Quarterly digitally in four issues per year at The Judge Advocate General's Legal Center and School, 600 Massie Road, Charlottesville, VA 22903. CLAMO does not publish print copies of the issues.
