Title: Structure and Evolution of AGN Jets

Session: oral 
Abstract: MOJAVE is a long term VLBA program to investigate the structural and 
polarization evolution of parsec-scale radio jets associated with AGN. The sample 
is complete with respect to beamed jet emission, and is providing important information 
on the Doppler factors, magnetic fields, and compactness of over 100 of the brightest 
AGN in the northern sky. We discuss recent findings regarding nozzle precession, 
polarization, and Faraday plasma effects in AGN jets, as well as the intrinsic jet speeds
 and luminosity function of the blazar parent population.
