The Evolution of the Paralegal & Advanced Individual Training (AIT)
Mr. Borch takes us through the evolution of the paralegal specialist,
both their role and their training. From legal clerk to
para-professional, the Paralegal has seen a vast change in their
responsibilities and duty titles over the last fifty years. Today, the
paralegal is a vital part of any legal team, and often the tip of the
proverbial legal spear. Join us our regimental historian colorfully (as
always) describes that evolution. ***The views expressed on the

Ever wonder why military judges wear black robes? OK, maybe that
question doesn’t live rent free in your brain . . . BUT the answers are
here, thanks to Mr. Borch our regimental historian. The Uniform Code of
Military Justice (UCMJ) was a revolution in the way the military tries
cases, but a second lesser known revolution took place in 1968 – the
Military Justice Act. More attorneys, military judges, and yes . . .
even black robes. All found on this week’s Fred Talks. ***The views

I’d like to welcome you to something a little bit different on the
Battlefield Next network of podcasts. You all have I’m sure heard of the
world-famous, hard-hitting, cutting edge discussions on society and
technology, known as Ted Talks. Well . . . . we don’t own any fancy
skinny microphones, we can’t trade in our OCPs for black turtlenecks,
BUT we can and will bring to you a segment fondly known as Fred Talks.
Join us weekly as the Army JAG Corps’ Regimental Historian provides
short glimpses of our institutional past. You can only succeed on the
battlefields of tomorrow, IF you learn about the battlefields of
yesterday, SO TODAY, it’s time to settle in for our very first “Fred
Talk” on the evolution of the JAG Corps. ***The views expressed on the
