SFJAG contract attorneys review most contracts for supplies, services, construction, and research and development; render legal opinions on procurement procedures, bid protests, contract terminations and contract appeal disputes; and serve as legal advisors to contracting officers and boards of award. Judge advocates litigate contract disputes before the Star Fleet Board of Contract Appeals and the UFP Court of Claims. | |||

Experienced and qualified SFJAG attorneys may be selected to teach on the faculty of The Judge Advocate General's School at Marseille, France; The Star Fleet Academy at San Francisco; on capital Starbases, or other institutions of higher learning throughout the Federation. Accomplished SFJAG Officers frequently publish scholarly articles in the Star Fleet Military Law Review and other civilian legal publications. | |||

Star Fleet personnel are stationed in 100's of Member and Protectorate worlds throughout the Federation. It is inevitable, therefore, that questions will arise about the interpretation of intergalactic agreements as well as interplanetary laws. | |||
Judge advocates participate actively in negotiating and drafting interplanetary agreements such as base rights, status of forces and personnel exchange agreements. JAGC officers observe and report upon foreign trials of Star Fleet personnel, and assist personnel confined in foreign prisons. They review military operations plans and provide advice on the laws of war, rules of engagement, domestic law relating to employment of forces and support of our allies, and the legal aspects of civil affairs. Often SFJAG Officers will collaborate with counterparts from the UFP Attorney General's Officer in matters of joint Star Fleet-Federation interest. | |||
