Wanted: 1L & 2L Law Students for Marine JAG Corps


Getting a law degree demonstrates your desire to defend and uphold the
principles of our nation. Becoming a Judge Advocate in the United States
Marine Corps will give you the unique training and opportunity to fight for
justice both in and out of the courtroom. Not only are Judge Advocates
licensed attorneys, they are also riflemen and leaders of the finest
fighting force in the world.

Judge Advocates receive unparalleled physical, academic and leadership
training from one of the oldest and most prestigious institutions in the
country. Their training consists of:
  • 10 weeks at Officer Candidates School
  • 6 months at The Basic School (after having passed the bar)
  • 10 weeks at the Naval Justice School

Only a few can endure the challenges of becoming a Marine Officer and Judge
Advocate. Those who do can gain courtroom experience right away as trial or
defense counsel in the military justice system. Judge Advocates specialize
in International, Operational, Criminal, Environmental, Fiscal, Contract
Labor, Family, and Claims and Tort Litigation Law, and they provide a full
range of legal services to support Marines in the accomplishment of their
missions.

As the Officer Selection Officer (OSO) in your area, I'd like to talk with
you more about Judge Advocate opportunities that the Marine Corps can offer.
We are currently looking for first year and second year law students to
become JAG Officers. Stop by my office or call me:
