TWO DIFFERENT POSITIONS:
SUMMER INTERNSHIPS -2Ls. PAID INTERNSHIPS. Summer internships run for 60 calendar days. Interns can be assigned to any JAG office worldwide. Interns are expected to pay their own travel and lodging costs, but will be assigned a sponsor at their duty station to help them find housing and settle in to the area. Summer interns assist Judge Advocates in a variety of practice areas, including legal assistance (family law, consumer law, estate planning, tax law, military administrative law), administrative law, and helping to prepare criminal and civil cases by conducting legal research, writing briefs and opinions.
Post-Graduate Attorneys: 3Ls and graduates are eligible to apply. Active duty Judge Advocates assume immediate challenges and responsibility upon their first assignment, and can practice in a variety of areas, including criminal law, administrative law, legal assistance (family law, consumer law, estate planning, tax law, military administrative law), claims, and operational law (for example, the Laws of War / Rules of Engagement). New Judge Advocates will be assigned with experienced military and civilian attorneys for mentorship and guidance. Judge Advocates come from virtually every state, and the JAG Corps fosters an environment that encourages professional growth and development coupled with an enhanced quality of life. Judge Advocates accrue 30 days of vacation (leave) per year. Active duty applicants must be U.S. citizens and must be under the age of 42 at the time of entering active duty.
The application process consists of two parts. First, you must complete an interview with a Field Screening Officer (FSO).
