On Watch
 

On Watch is a journal published by the Military Law Task Force of the National Lawyers Guild. Currently published monthly, each issue contains one to three major articles on issues pertaining to military and veterans law. The articles discuss the rights of military personnel and veterans, and current military policies as they affect service members. Its purpose is to educate civilian lawyers and military counselors on military law and other legal issues to better defend the rights of those serving in the armed forces. Issues can either be sent electronically or through the regular mail.

On Watch is included with MLTF membership. For non-MLTF members, the cost is $25/year. The MLTF is offering the journal to law libraries at the rate of $40/year.
