View Rule

DoD is issuing a final rule to amend the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to delete language at DFARS 237.7202(a), which prohibits the use of Educational Services Agreements (ESAs) as a contracting method for training in the legal profession, except when in connection with the detailing of commissioned officers to law schools under 10 U.S.C. 2004. An ESA is an ordering agreement under which the Government may acquire educational services. DFARS 237.72 prescribes policies and procedures for acquiring educational services from schools, colleges, universities, or other educational institutions, including the use of ESAs. Paragraph (a) of DFARS 237.7202 prohibits the use of ESAs as a contracting method for training in the legal profession, except when in connection with the detailing of commissioned officers to law schools under 10 U.S.C. 2004. This limitation was established at a time when legal training was acquired only for the purpose of obtaining doctorate degrees for military judge advocates. DoD’s need for legal training has evolved since the implementation of the text at DFARS 237.7202(a). As 10 U.S.C. Section 2004 contains no prohibition against acquiring other training in the legal profession, the rule will delete the language at DFARS 237.7202(a) to allow DoD to make agreements that permit payment for master of laws degrees and other legal training needs, in accordance with applicable law, regulation, and policy.
