Attorney / Judge Advocate (JAG)
Attorney / Judge Advocate (JAG) As a member of this elite group of law professionals, you'll help fulfill the JAG mission to provide full-spectrum legal services that support Air Force people, operations, readiness and modernization.
You'll also enter a world of opportunity - one where you can take on immediate responsibility, continue your education and gain experience working around the globe in any number of law fields.
The Promise If you become a JAG in the US Air Force, you'll wield the most powerful force in the world: the rule of law. Your battles will be for justice, for the individual and for our freedom as a nation.
When you CROSS INTO THE BLUE, you'll receive training and immediately engage in an exciting, diversified practice of law that includes criminal, international, operations, environmental, medical, labor, space and civil law, to name a few. You'll focus on your profession without the distraction of billable hours, so you'll have time for more important things such as promoting justice and providing for the common defense.
Quality of Life The experience of practicing law in a military environment is markedly different from - and we believe better than - that afforded lawyers in the private sector.
Beyond the career itself, Air Force legal professionals enjoy a quality of life second to none.
We ensure an extremely rewarding and stable career with benefits such as competitive salaries, food and housing allowances, full comprehensive medical and dental insurance and 30 days of vacation with pay each year.
The Air Force provides you and your family the option of retirement with full pension and benefits after only 20 years of service.
Continued Education Specialized training courses and continuing legal educational opportunities are abundant and provided at government expense.
There are short courses for prosecutors, defense counsel and military judges.
Also, specialty courses are provided in such areas as medical law, labor law, environmental law, information and operations law, utility contract negotiation and government contracts.
In addition, JAGs are competitively selected every year to return to law school for LLMs in specialties like government contracts (procurement), labor law, military justice (criminal law), air and space law, international law, computer/information technology law, health law and environmental law. Upon completion of the program, Judge Advocates can expect an assignment to a position dealing primarily with their areas of expertise.
Requirements This is an active-duty position in the United States Air Force.
You must be a US citizen to apply.
You must be less than 35 years of age. You must be a graduate of an ABA-accredited law school and be admitted to the highest court of any state.
You must be willing to travel and relocate.
