CF Military Law Centre
The Canadian Forces Military Law Centre (CFMLC) is the military legal education and training delivery organization for the Canadian Forces (CF).
The CFMLC executes a CF wide mandate to provide legal education and training materials and services to military members in order to assist them in preparing to meet the challenges associated with current and future operations. Established as a Directorate of the Canadian Defence Academy (CDA), the CFMLC is a joint effort of the CDA and the Office of the Judge Advocate General (Office of the JAG) to provide innovative legal research, education and training to the CF.
Legal education and training delivery at CFMLC is aimed at enhancing discipline across the CF and at ensuring that the CF is capable of carrying out its current and future missions in accordance with all applicable domestic and international laws. Additionally, CFMLC is the CF centre of excellence for the generation of legal research in the areas of military justice and military law, and in the delineation of CF doctrine governing those legal disciplines. Given the specialized nature of the work that comprises the CFMLC mandate, the CDA relies upon the Office of the JAG to staff the CFMLC with the required specialist legal officers.
