Author Description

This important and up-to-date electronic book on CD-ROM provides a comprehensive collection of documents covering every aspect of the U.S. Air Force JAG Corps - the Judge Advocate General's Corps providing military justice services, with lawyers, legal administrators and specialists, and court reporters. The corps states its mission as follows: "We deliver professional, candid, independent counsel and full spectrum legal capabilities to command and the warfighter. The Air Force, like other Services, operates in an increasingly legalistic environment, which demands nothing less than the very best legal capability it can field. The Air Force JAG Corps supplies that demand with its talented and highly trained group of legal professionals. The JAG Corps serves our fellow warfighters throughout the battlespace by delivering on-time and on-target legal capabilities to a wide and expanding range of clients. We provide sage advice to commanders and supervisors at all levels on matters ranging from disciplinary issues to operational concerns. We enhance morale and help maintain battle-ready forces by providing legal assistance, representing Airmen facing disciplinary action, judiciously paying claims, and ensuring deployment readiness. We represent the U.S. in federal courts and administrative agency hearing rooms on issues such as criminal law, labor disputes, tort claims, and contract litigation. The JAG Corps delivers full-spectrum legal capabilities everywhere our Air Force executes its mission. From handling claims at a flood- ravaged military base in the homeland to serving in the joint, interagency, and international environment at forward-deployed locations, the JAG Corps operates at more than 230 locations around the world. Our passion to serve takes us from front-line Combined Air and Space Operations Centers to domestic and international courtrooms and from small base agency offices to huge contractor facilities."
