The JAG (or Judge Advocate General) Corps is the legal branch or specialty of Starfleet, and serve only in legal and advisory positions. Judge Advocates serve primarily as legal advisors to the command to which they are assigned. In this function, they can also serve as the personal legal advisor to their commander. Their advice may cover a wide range of issues dealing with administrative law, civilian and military personnel law, law of war and interplanetary relations, environmental law, etc. They also serve as prosecutors for Starfleet when conducting courts-martial. They are charged with both the defense and prosecution of Federation law as it affects Starfleet personnel. Highly experienced officers of the JAG Corps often serve as military judges in courts-martial and courts of inquiry.

The JAG Corps on Deep Space 26 is fairly small, due to the currently minimal presence of the Federation and Starfleet within the Par'tha Expanse. Most of their time is spent studying the laws and legal customs of the various species within the Expanse.
