Judge Advocates

Judge Advocates are legal professionals in the military, serving as lawyers for armed forces personnel. They provide legal advice, represent military members in courts-martial (military trials), and handle various legal matters, including military justice and operational law. These attorneys often have specialized training in military law and work to ensure that legal rights are upheld within the military context. Judge Advocates may also engage in preventative law, ensuring compliance with laws and regulations, and can be involved in international law as it pertains to military operations.
