The 2026 Military Spouse JD Network & Foundation's 15th Anniversary Awards Gala

In June 2026, the Military Spouse JD Network Foundation (MSJDNF) will celebrate fifteen years of trailblazing advocacy, community building, and career-shaping impact at our 15th Anniversary “Jazz and Justice” Awards Gala. Far more than a celebration, this event fuels the work that has made MSJDN the nation’s leading voice for military spouse legal professionals who pursue their own legal careers while supporting the demands of military life.

The Gala will spotlight the legacy and leadership of MSJDN and the spouses who dared to believe that a mobile military lifestyle shouldn’t prevent them from practicing law. We will honor the champions - members, firms, agencies, partners, and volunteers - who have helped transform that belief into reality through licensing accommodations, career opportunities, and unwavering support for military families.

Funds raised at the Gala directly power MSJDNF’s year-round mission:
1. Advancing state licensing reciprocity for military spouse attorneys
2. Expanding Homefront to Hired, Justice for Military Families, and other high-impact career and pro bono initiatives
3. Delivering top-tier programming, mentorship, and networking to help military spouses thrive in the legal profession, and
4. Sustaining advocacy that drives long-term, systemic change

“Jazz and Justice” reflects both the energy of our community and the rhythm of progress we’ve built together over 15 years. By supporting this milestone event, donors help ensure that military spouse legal professionals can continue breaking barriers, strengthening the legal field, and serving communities across the world.

Join us in honoring our past and investing in the next decade of justice, opportunity, and empowerment.
