Talk:Judge Advocate General's Corps (United States)

Comments

THIS IS THE WORST WIKI I HAVE EVER READ - INFORMATION FREE - WRITTEN BY IFERIOR SEMI-LITERATES — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:805:8181:37F0:20DB:F82E:7130:ADF (talk) 19:38, 1 October 2021 (UTC) I made a number of minor changes to this page, including 1) clarifying that there is no unified entity known as the "Judge Advocate General's Corps of the United States," only the separate JAG Corps of each service; 2) clarifying that Air Force judge advocates are (technically, at least) line officers; 3) clarifying that judge advocates are not actually "members" of the court but only detailed to it - the members of the panel (non-JAGs) are the members of the court; 4) noting that the one third enlisted rule applies only upon request from an enlisted accused, and applies to special courts as well as general; 5) noting that an accused in a general court as well as a special court may request trial by military judge alone; and 6) noting that judge advocates must be "real" lawyers in addition to their specialized military training. --PubliusFL 02:29, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Dead links?

The Army and Navy external links don't seem to work. Regards, Guido den Broeder (talk) 16:37, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

American Brit?

The link from Judge Advocate, a British legal term, redirects here. Is there an article for the British use of Judge Advocate? --Noclevername (talk) 06:33, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

This article says that the Air Force doesn't maintain a separate JAG Corps per se, but the AF does have a Judge Advocate General and the wikipedia page on AF JAG (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judge_Advocate_General%27s_Corps,_U.S._Air_Force) says that the JAG department was renamed the JAG Corps in 2003.Georgia Yankee (talk) 01:19, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Like many things on wikipedia, this article is only about the U.S when many nations have JAG offices. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.225.145.109 (talk • contribs) 05:10, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Scope of article

Shouldn't this article be about the profession of judge advocates per se, rather than the twine staff corps which only some of them in the U.S. (Army & Navy) belongs to, both of which are already covered in their own articles. It would be far better when writing from an international/comparative perspective. RicJac (talk) 20:28, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

True. There is a disambig page for Judge Advocate General which lists various country JAGs. This page might be retitled Judge Advocate General's Corps (United States), which could then free up the non-US page (e.g., this one pre-renaming) for a generalized article. --S.

After seeing a USN centric infobox added to this article, I deleted the infobox and followed my own suggesting to set up a JAGC (US) article.--S. Rich (talk) 16:21, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
