The Navy Judge Advocate General (JAG) Corps comprises over 1,000 attorneys who are commissioned naval officers. We support the fleet and enable the Navy mission throughout the world, both ashore and at sea. We are proud to serve as Navy Sailors and legal professionals.
Our core practice areas include:
National Security Law: We advise commanders and operators on the full range of options to meet the mission - enable readiness and the employment of integrated all-domain Naval Power to defend the nation and our allies and partners while preserving the rules-based international order.
Military Justice: We litigate criminal cases within the military justice system, ensuring a timely, fair, and transparent processes for all participants to enable good order and discipline.
Administrative Law: We deliver legal services, advice, and advocacy to preserve and protect the Navy's essential resources - its people, platforms, ranges, and property.
Sailor and Family Legal Services: We advise, advocate for, and represent Sailors and their families to enhance Navy and joint force readiness.
Student Program
The Navy JAG Corps’ Student Program (SP) is the most common way to become a Navy JAG Corps officer. It enables selected law students to commission in the inactive Navy Reserve while attending law school. Upon law school graduation and bar admission, Student Program participants are appointed as active duty Navy judge advocates, ready to start their adventure.
Who Is Eligible
To be eligible for the Student Program (SP) with the Navy JAG Corps, you must:
· Be a United States citizen of good moral character;
· Be younger than 42 years of age at the time you begin active duty;
· Have taken the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) or GRE;
· Be a law student with at least one year of school completed, attending an American Bar Association (ABA)-accredited school, or a graduate of an ABA-accredited law school who has not yet had the opportunity to take the first available bar exam following graduation. Students who attend law school part-time or intend to matriculate in a dual degree program must be within two years of completing all remaining degree requirements; and
· Meet the physical and medical requirements for commission in the Navy. If you have any questions about the medical qualifications or physical fitness standards, please contact a Navy recruiter.
o The physical requirements include meeting Navy and DoD fitness standards.
o Additionally, Navy officers are required to participate in at least one Physical Readiness Test each year. The test consists of completing as many pushups as possible in two minutes, a cardio test (typically a 1.5 mile run, but other options include a 500y/450m swim, 12-minute stationary bike, or 2,000 meter row), and a timed plank. Additional information is available at Physical Fitness Test.
How It Works/Application Link
Becoming a judge advocate is a two-phase process. The first phase is to apply for a Professional Recommendation to become a judge advocate through the Navy JAG Website.
That process includes a structured interview with qualified Naval officers.
If you are Professionally Recommended, you then work through the process to receive a commission as an officer in the U.S. Navy. Then, after passing the bar examination, SP participants start active duty and begin their Navy training.
New judge advocates first attend the five-week Navy Officer Development School (ODS) in Newport, RI. After ODS, new judge advocates then report to their permanent duty stations for approximately two months. They will then proceed to the ten-week Basic Lawyer Course at Naval Justice School (NJS), also in Newport, RI. Upon graduation from NJS, new judge advocates return to their permanent duty station and are committed to four years of active duty. For more information, visit the Path of a Navy JAG Corps Officer.
