Respecting the Rule of Law

The West Point Center for the Rule of Law (CRL) plays a vital educational role in promoting respect for the rule of law—during peacetime and armed conflict. Located within West Point’s Department of Law, the Center educates current and future leaders of our Army and our nation, emphasizing:
  • the principles underlying the Law of Armed Conflict
  • their own critical roles as officers and commanders in upholding the military justice system
  • the core values of the U.S. Constitution as the foundation of civil-military relations.

About the Program
 
The Kimsey Scholar Program is an initiative to provide students from the military academies the opportunity to interact on a personal level with some of the most accomplished leaders in the country.
 
Cadets and Midshipman nominated by the four military academies will be considered to participate in the program.
 
The ten students selected for the Kimsey Scholar Program will spend three weeks working as an intern for: the Supreme Court, the White House, the State Department or other equivalent highest echelon office of the federal Government. These internships will be administered under the United States Military Academy’s Academic Individual Advanced Development (AIAD) Program.
 
In addition to their work within the federal offices, the students will participate in three colloquia with national leaders from the federal government, senior military leadership or civilian business leadership. These leaders will be handpicked by Mr. James Kimsey, founder of the Kimsey Foundation.
 
The Kimsey Foundation, a charitable organization dedicated to education and headquartered one block from the White House, is proud to fund this unique lifetime experience for future military officers. Mr. Kimsey, a graduate of the United States Military Academy, is a firm believer in the critical importance of excellent leadership in the success of any human endeavor. He trusts in the military academies to be the primary source for our nation to develop exactly this type of leadership to face the problems of tomorrow. Through this program, he plans to introduce a select few students to proven leaders not just from the military realm that they are familiar with, but to the leaders in the civilian government and business that are just as critical to the success of our nation.
 
The benefit of these internships and colloquia to Kimsey Scholars is invaluable. Great things will be expected of every one of them and the program intends to track their accomplishments both within and outside the military.
