Air Force JAG Corps - Military Attorney

The Air Force JAG Corps - Military Attorney

Being a JAG means you’ll be doing meaningful work from day one—with opportunities to practice in almost every field, see the world and become the lawyer you’ve always wanted to be.

• Must be a citizen of the United States
• Must be a graduate of an ABA‑approved law school and be admitted to practice law in the highest court of any U.S. state, commonwealth, territory or the District of Columbia
• Must be commissioned before the age of 40
• Once selected for the JAG Corps, all applicants must complete and pass an Air Force medical examination before an offer of assignment will be extended.

You do not incur a service commitment until you accept your JAG assignment. The initial active duty commitment is four years, which begins on the day you depart for Officer Training School (OTS).

Selection boards are held in February, April, August and November. Applications are accepted through our online application processing system. You must submit all application materials online on or before the 10th of the month (i.e., January 10, March 10, July 10 and October 10) prior to the board. After the interview, the SJA will prepare a report that is forwarded, along with your application materials, to HQ USAF/JAX.

Please do not mail application materials directly to HQ USAF/JAX. Additional materials will not be accepted after the first of the month that the board meets.
