Recognized Scholarship in Military & Criminal Law

In 2007, Major Peter Kageleiry, Jr. published his foundational academic paper,
“Psychological Police Interrogation Methods: Pseudoscience in the Interrogation Room Obscures Justice in the Courtroom”
(193 Mil. L. Rev. 1). Published in the prestigious Military Law Review, the treatise critically evaluated psychological coercion, police deception, and pseudoscientific interrogation methods such as the Reid Technique.

Today, MAJ Kageleiry’s work is routinely relied upon by military appellate courts, law reviews, and innocence project researchers across the United States. As the founding attorney at the Law Office of Peter Kageleiry, Jr., he applies these deep insights directly to defending service members facing court-martial.
