Job Description

As a Marine Corps Judge Advocate, you’ll serve as both an officer and an attorney.

  • Litigate criminal cases—both prosecution and defense
  • Advise on international, operational, and military law
  • Draft legal documents and represent the USMC in courts and hearings
  • Work as part of a close-knit, mission-driven legal team

Who We’re Looking For:

  • Current law students (2L/3L) or recent JD graduates
  • Bar admission (or plans to sit for the bar)
  • Strong academic performance and commitment to service
  • Adaptability, leadership potential, and sound judgment
  • U.S. citizenship required

Why the Marine Corps?

  • Early courtroom experience with meaningful case responsibility
  • Fast-track leadership and professional growth
  • Competitive salary and outstanding benefits
  • Global assignments and lifelong camaraderie
  • Unique opportunity to serve your country while advancing your legal career
