The Army Legal Assistance Program

This regulation prescribes policies, responsibilities, and procedures for the Army Legal Assistance Program. One statutory authorization for legal assistance to Active Army and retired service members and their family members is section 1044, title 10, United States Code (10 USC 1044). Another statutory authorization for legal assistance to these and all other eligible clients (for example, Reserve component (RC) soldiers and Department of Defense (DOD) civilian employees in certain situations) is 10 USC 3013g. (See para 2-5a.) This regulation is designed to improve legal assistance procedures and services within the Department of the Army (DA). It preempts all other regulations within DA on the delivery of legal assistance services as defined in this regulation. (See chap 3.) It should not be construed to create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity, by a party against the United States, its agencies, its officers, or any other person.
