Purpose.

To set out direction for improved collaboration between judge advocates and Legalmen (LNs) in the Navy legal practice. The Judge Advocate General's Corps (JAGC) will develop LNs who are multi-skilled legal professionals, equipped to perform specifically delegated substantive legal work for which attorneys are responsible as supervisory attorneys. This will facilitate the delivery of accurate and timely legal solutions to senior leaders, commanders, and service members. LNs are dedicated professionals, committed to upholding and advancing the highest standards of excellence and integrity in the LN rating, the JAGC, and the U.S. Navy. It is the responsibility of our entire community to ensure that LNs are fully tasked and utilized to their fullest capability.
