Michael Noone, admitted to the California and District of Columbia bars, served twenty years as a judge advocate in the U.S. Air Force, retiring as a colonel before he joined the law faculty in 1978 and, effective August 2005, gave up his Ordinary Professorship and was appointed Research Professor for academic years 2005-2007. He remains active in national security issues. He's a Fellow of the Inter-University Seminar on Armed Forces and Society; Director, International Society for Military Law and the Law of War; President of the Committee on Military Criminology and Crime; he serves as a member of the International Advisory Board, Geneva Centre for the Democratic Control of Armed Forces, and on the executive board of the Judge Advocate's Association Inn of Court. He was a distinguished visiting professor of law at the U.S. Military Academy (West Point) in 1991 and co-authored the textbook used by the law department. His research and writing on peacekeeping and political violence have taken him in recent years to Russia, Australia and New Zealand, to Ukraine, South Africa, and to Northern Ireland and Israel. He is married to the former Ann Hackett of Cranford, New Jersey.
