In this function, they can also serve as the personal legal advisor to their commander. They are charged with both the <a href="/wiki/Defense_(legal)" title="Defense (legal)">defense</a> and <a href="/wiki/Prosecutor" title="Prosecutor">prosecution</a> of <a href="/wiki/Military_justice#United_States" title="Military justice">military law</a> as provided in the <a href="/wiki/Uniform_Code_of_Military_Justice" title="Uniform Code of Military Justice">Uniform Code of Military Justice</a>. Highly experienced officers of the JAG Corps often serve as military judges in <a href="/wiki/Court-martial" title="Court-martial">courts-martial</a> and <a href="/wiki/Naval_Board_of_Inquiry" title="Naval Board of Inquiry">courts of inquiry</a>. </p><p>The services also have enlisted soldiers with specific paralegal training that provide support to judge advocates, although accession and scope of duty are also branch-specific. For example, the U.S. Army permits new recruits to become judge advocate enlisted, while the U.S. Navy does not. In addition to acting as paralegals to military attorneys, JAG enlisted often provide limited paralegal services such as drafting commonly used legal documents for service members and their families, providing guidance to unit commands regarding the administrative and disciplinary procedure, and acting as notaries. </p><p>The Marine Corps and Coast Guard do not maintain separate JAG Corps, and judge advocates in those services maintain their <a href="/wiki/Line_officer" title="Line officer">line-officer</a> status. In the Navy, JAG officers only serve in legal positions. Judge advocates in the Army and Air Force retain eligibility for command and may be assigned to a non-legal position with permission of the Judge Advocate General, but this is only rarely done; the majority serve in legal positions and their careers are therefore similar to those of the Navy. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Career_path">Career path</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Judge_Advocate_General%27s_Corps&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Career path"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>According to the U.S. Department of Defense, judge advocates typically join the JAG Corps after graduating from law school.

The UCMJ was created by an act of the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Congress" title="United States Congress">United States Congress</a> in 1951 in order to establish relatively consistent systems of military justice in all branches of the nation's armed forces. However, in cases involving very minor disciplinary infractions, each service has somewhat differing procedures.

When a violation of the UCMJ occurs, the matter is handled by the command of the service member.
