Judge Advocate General’s Corps (JAG) Information
-Positions- • The Judge – The person that decides the punishment for a convicted person(s). The judge may NOT appoint attorneys, members of the jury, decide the outcome of a verdict on his own, or influence the jury in any way, shape, or form. The judge may remove an attorney, a juror, or a member of the audience for disorderly conduct. Advocates may become Judges after months of continued service without any record of corruption. • The Advocate (attorney) – The advocate either defends, or prosecutes, and is between pay grades O1-O6. Each advocate is allowed to choose 6 members of the jury. Advocates may only defend members of their own branch, and cannot object or interrupt the other advocate’s speaking time. To become an advocate, be in a branch and hold a billet between O1-O6. • The Jury – The Jury is comprised of 12 men that decide as to whether the defendant is guilty, or not guilty, and the verdict must be unanimous. Advocates appoint members of the jury. A branch Joint Chief of Staff, Vice Joint Chief of Staff, or Senior Enlisted Advisor may NOT serve on the jury. The jury has a maximum of 12 men, and if jury members leave, no more can be appointed. • Security – Security is compromised of enlisted men and women that help maintain the conduct of the court, which includes removing obnoxious members of the audiences and juries. Court security must oblige to what the judge asks of him or her. To become a member of court security, you must be in a branch and hold a billet between E2-E9.
-General Conduct of the Court- The judge arrives and assigns each member of JAG to their respective positions in the courthouse, each advocate selects their jury members, takes their seats, and the judge begins the trial. The plaintiff has 7 minutes to present his case, and the defendant has 7 minutes to defend his position. A 5-minute recess is called, and the plaintiff then issues a 5-minute rebuttal, and the defendant is allotted 5 minutes to issue a closing statement before the jury makes a decision; the jury is not timed when making a decision. After the jury reaches a verdict, the judge decides the sentence based on the consent of the plaintiff, and the court is adjourned.
