The U.S. Army Judge Advocate General’s Corps (JAG Corps) was founded in 1775 by General George Washington. The Army JAG Corps consists of over 10,000 Active Duty, Army Reserve, National Guard, and federal civilian attorneys, legal administrators, paralegals, and paraprofessionals. Active Duty Judge Advocates serve as full-time military attorneys. Army Reserve Judge Advocates serve as part-time military attorneys, often performing work one weekend a month and two full weeks a year. National Guard Judge Advocates are similar to Army Reserve Judge Advocates, but they are assigned to their specific state and may be called upon to support state disaster response. The Army JAG Corps has a paid Intern Program for eligible 2L students. 2L and 3L students may also serve as unpaid externs, whether seeking credit or not. The Army JAG Corps is the largest among the other military branches (Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard). The Army JAG Corps offers a wide variety of practice areas, such as criminal law, national security law, administrative law, legal assistance, contract and fiscal law, civil litigation, labor and employment law, and environmental law. Army Judge Advocates can expect a diversity of practice throughout their career. New Active Duty Judge Advocates owe a four year full-time military commitment, followed by four years in an inactive status (Individual Ready Reserve). New Army Reserve Judge Advocates owe an eight year commitment that can be split between an active part-time status and an inactive status.
