It is the primary professional continuing education event for international and operational law specialists in the Navy Reserve law program. It also draws a large, multi-service audience of National Guard, Reserve, and active duty judge advocates.

Selection boards are held annually for each program and are very competitive. Application windows and Selectee Announcements are made via Forceconnect. Primary and Alternates are selected through the selection board process, no quotas will be assigned outside this process. NWC RPD is not involved in the selection board process.
