SFJAG Introduction: Difference between revisions

What is the Star Fleet Judge Advocate General's Corps and what does it do?   

SFJAG is an often overlooked but critical part of Star Fleet life, charged with protecting the rights that all Federation citizens hold dear. The SFJAG Corps is an independent command within Star Fleet. Also, SFJAG members are independent of the chains of command of the accused and victim, therefore free from unlawful influence. When exercising prosecutorial powers, duties, and functions Advocates and Judges execute their respective roles in a manner that is fair and impartial.

The Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) stands as the bedrock of the criminal justice system across all Star Fleet facilities and installations. Within this framework, SFJAG Advocates and Judges play a pivotal role in the interpretation and application of these laws, striving to bolster the operational prowess of Star Fleet by upholding discipline, efficiency, and morale within every unit. The SFJAG Corps has the exclusive authority to withdraw or dismiss the charges or refer the charges to a general or special court-martial.
