Military Justice 
As stewards of the military justice system, the base legal office
assists commanders in maintaining good order and discipline
in their units. Military justice attorneys and paralegals accomplish
his by providing legal advice to commanders and first sergeants
on all disciplinary issues and keeping them appraised of trends
so they can make well-reasoned and fair disciplinary decisions.
The Military Justice Division is also responsible for processing
all courts-martial, Articles 15s and administrative disciplinary matters.

Operational Law and Mission-Related Legal Assistance 
Attorneys and paralegals are instrumental in advising commanders
concerning the rules of engagement and law of armed conflict in both
war and peacetime. The operation law division also takes care of
deploying member's and their family's legal needs before, during and
after the member departs.

Protecting Air Force Resources and Freedom of Action 
The legal office's client is the Air Force. To ensure the interests of
the Air Force are protected, the legal office provides a full-spectrum
of civil law advice to commanders and wing agencies to better enable
them to accomplish their mission. From providing advice on contracts,
environmental law and labor issues to defending the Air Force against
tort claims and other law suits, the legal office fights hard to insure
commanders can accomplish the mission without a threat of
adverse legal and/or fiscal consequences.

Morale and Welfare 
Finally, the legal office helps ensure military members are compensated
for any damage done to their household goods during government-directed
moves by facilitating the claims process through the Air Force Claims
Service Center and provides legal assistance to active duty, retired, dependent
and mobilized Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve members. The scope of legal assistance includes almost any personal, civil, legal matter related to mobilization and deployment or that will have an adverse effect on the member's ability to perform military duties.

Retrain as a paralegal

Paralegals are the backbone of the legal arena. The role of a paralegal is to assist the attorneys in achieving the mission of the office and the wing. Paralegals do many things, such as conduct in-depth legal research, interview witnesses, aid in the claims filing process and notarize documents, just to name a few. They also prepare Article 15 actions and assist in preparations for courts-martial proceedings.

All paralegals attend the Paralegal Apprentice Course for three months at the Judge Advocate Generals School at Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama. To achieve the 7-skill level, they must return to the JAG School for the eight-week Paralegal Craftsman Course. Other training opportunities include civilian paralegal courses, attorney-level specialized courses (like operational, environmental, or contract law), or attorney-level courses hosted by our sister services in the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps.

Interested in retraining into the paralegal career field? Contact the Legal Office at (501) 987-7886 for more information.
