The closing statements by the Trial Council. The Rebuttal and Final Statement by the Defense. Our classes in law were some of the most interesting classes at the Academy. It was here that we learned just what was meant by intent, negligence, or reason- able man. We learned just what the book says we can and can not do. Later we put our knowledge to use by prosecuting our classmates. Sometimes it seemed as if we were persecuting classmates, but in the end we learned our lesson. The Department of Law did not make us all members of any bar association, but it did give us a thorough working knowledge of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, the United States Constitution and their many complicated interrelated aspects. We have been provided with the knowledge that an officer will find applicable to himself, his career, and his command. Especially after graduation, but even before it, we can use the knowledge which the Department of Law gave to us. Not only did it give us the basic background and fundamentals of the study of law, but also increased our ability to analytically and ration- ally look into a situation and pick out the pertinent facts.
