Over 1,300 active duty military attorneys, called judge advocates (JAGs), have discovered that service as a commissioned officer in the Air Force Judge Advocate General's Corps (JAG Corps) has much to offer. Our legal practice is challenging and offers early opportunities to litigate in a variety of forums. In addition, practicing law in the JAG Corps allows attorneys to engage in public service within an institution highly respected by the American public.

Our JAGs make a fulfilling, valuable and lasting contribution to the United States of America, while maintaining a high quality of life. The JAG Corps provides full-spectrum legal advice to the United States Air Force and Space Force. JAGs are both officers and practicing attorneys with responsibilities that focus on all legal aspects of military operations including criminal law, legal assistance, civil and administrative law, labor and employment law, international and operational law, space and cyber law, contract and fiscal law, medical law, claims and tort litigation, and environmental law.

The JAG Corps offers a wide range of opportunities - whether serving as prosecutor, defense counsel, or special victims' counsel at a court-martial, advising a commander on an international law issue, or helping an Airman or Guardian with a personal legal matter.

For some, travel opportunities, the possibility of living and practicing law in a foreign country, and the simple prospect of engaging in a unique legal field carry special attraction. For others, quality of life is of significant importance. Military service provides an extended family, emphasizes teamwork and team building, and offers a well-developed support network. For these and many other reasons, service as an Air Force JAG offers unique opportunities and promises enriching experiences.

This event is intended for UCI Law students only.
