Do you believe it’s important to strengthen the next generation of national and international security law experts?

Do you want to help law students and active-duty military stay up to date on national and international issues that affect our country? 

Do you think ethics is important in the discussion of national security issues like drones, use of force, civil-military relations, cybersecurity and more?

Give to make our future national security leaders the best they can be! 

When you choose to contribute directly to the Center on Law, Ethics and National Security, you are choosing to impact the lives of future national security leaders – in law, in non-profits, in government and in the military. 

You will help connect them with real-world exposure to speakers on the front line of national security law and expose them to additional knowledge, ethics, and information they need to best lead our country in the future. 

Your donation to the Center on Law, Ethics and National Security helps to:

  • Send selected law students to study, learn and network at the American Bar Association (ABA) National Security Conference in DC

And your contribution helps both active-duty military and law students:

  • Learn from and interact with national security experts at the Center on Law, Ethics and National Security’s February conference at a much-reduced rate. 

Plus, your contribution helps host:

  • The LENS Scholars, a group of over 40 nominated students from military academies and law schools around the country brought together to benefit from ideas and information-sharing by national security experts at the LENS Conference in February.  
  • National security forums and speaker series presented by LENS throughout the school year.

Build the future.  Ensure the future of young leaders in national and international security.  Give today.
