question, visit http://aflegalassistance.law.
Corps unveiled the new Air Force Legal Assistance Website worldwide on 1

the comfort of their homes without a CAC card. The site's features
include: access to informational pamphlets on variety of topics of
interest to Airmen and their dependents; ability to fill out legal
worksheets for wills, living wills, and powers of attorney; and
anonymous online survey on the professionalism and helpfulness of our
legal professionals. The website was created to increase efficiency and
track client satisfaction with the Air Force legal assistance program.
However, this website does not produce legal documents! All information
contained within the website is for educational and informational
purposes only and it cannot replace consultation with your local JAG.
