Full-Spectrum Counsel to Warfighters in the U.S. Military
Description
Each of the five U.S. military branches has a large legal staff that handles civil litigation, criminal prosecution and defense, and more. With worldwide jurisdiction, the military justice system operates alongside our civilian system and is run by the Judge Advocate General's Corp—JAG for short. Captain Megan Mallone, a Air Force JAG officer, joined the military right after law school. While she’s not involved in combat, she does provide legal counsel of all kinds to warfighters. She discusses her time when she re-enlisted and was deployed to Greece and Qatar while stationed in England. Captain Megan Mallone is a 2008 graduate of the University of Toledo College of Law.
