So, what is the Starfleet Judge Advocate General and what does it do?  SFJAG is an often overlooked but critical part of Starfleet life, charged with protecting the rights that all Federation citizens hold dear.

The second role of the Judge Advocate General is to provide on site legal interpertations for the command staff trying to understand that minor point in intergalatic law.  Gone are the days of cowboy diplomacy where the person with the biggest guns were right.  Now, Starfleet officers are expected and required to follow intergalatic treaties when dealing with other races.  Although computers can provide every small detail of a treaty, SFJAG provides the interpertations changing the written laws into answers for people who aren't lawyers.  In effect, SFJAG provides the bridge between the written treaties or laws and carrying them out.
