Why Would You Want To Do This?
- If you are representing or opposing a party who states they are a member of the military, it may be prudent to check. Most people are truthful, but "stuff happens"!
- In some legal matters, the law may require you to file an affidavit stating the military status of the parties you are representing. This is especially important if you are asserting rights, e.g. under SCRA.
