The legal service of the Navy as inspired a prime-time TV show, but, as you might suspect, TV has little to do with reality. We meet John Hutson, retired Rear Admiral and former Judge Advocate General for the Navy. He's now the dean of New Hampshire's only law school, Franklin Pierce Law Center in Concord. He talks about military justice, the handling of terror suspects, and the changing culture of the armed services. Franklin Pierce Law Center is at www.piercelaw.edu
