Program Summary

Administrative military discipline has no civilian corollary. Designed to address uniquely military disciplinary issues, and “awarded” at the much lower preponderance of the evidence (“I think you did it”) standard, administrative discipline has the potential to derail careers, promotions, and in an alarming way, create a lifelong civilian criminal arrest record. Many times, the alleged misconduct is nothing more than a witness misunderstanding what they saw, overheard, or read. In a growing number of cases, allegations of sexual misconduct, financial issues, and drug related matters, there is nothing more than the allegation, yet an “arrest” is recorded in Department of Justice law enforcement databases.

This course is designed to provide insight into the administrative punishment process and guide practitioners through the wickets of administrative discipline and to prepare the record for later review by a military records corrections board, or the courts.

MNB Meridian Law is a government practices advisory firm specializing in the vagaries and arcane of aspects of military service. Our attorneys have held positions across the Department of Defense from the “E Ring” to the foxholes and are considered the nation’s foremost military administrative law experts.

Key topics to be discussed:

  • Judicial vs administrative punishment
  • Source of administrative authorities
  • Administrative personnel actions
  • Examples of administrative discipline
  • Administrative due process

This course is co-sponsored with myLawCLE.

Speakers

Christopher Nuneviller | MNB Meridian Law

Founding partner of MNB Meridian Law, Ltd. and the managing partner for the firm’s Philadelphia office. Christopher focuses his practice on small and mid sized business owners, investors and shareholders, and their success through smart formation, organization, governance, routine and special operations, and growth toward IPO. As a small business owner in several ventures himself, Christopher understands the pressure to succeed and be profitable, while staying level headed for his clients, employees, family, and business partners.

As a Veteran, Christopher also assists currently serving members of the Uniformed Services as they challenge the adverse administrative punishments military commanders use to “save” their commands and their careers, such as: administrative, criminal, and inspector general investigations, bad evaluations, positive urinalysis, non-judicial punishment, removal of special designations and positions, reprimands, removal from positions, loss of security clearances, titling, and administrative separation boards.

Christopher’s background includes practicing securities, venture capital, emerging business, military, and government regulatory law. He served as inhouse and general counsel, a contractor to the federal government, a federal government senior level executive, and a C-Suite executive. He is also a former U.S. Army Judge Advocate, having served seven years in Washington, D.C., where he gained significant experience with above-the fold matters of great import and an unhealthy insight into the internal workings of the beltway underbelly.
