SFJAG serves two primary roles in Star Fleet. It is the foundation for the criminal justice system on all Starfleet property, responsible for providing judges and lawyers to conduct trials in order to determine the guilt or innocence of the accused. Thus, after the Security and Investigation Service (SECIS) has taken a subject into custody, it is the responsibility of SFJAG to determine if the charges have merit, set a bond, provide for both the prosecution and defense, and then assign what ever discipline is warranted. | SFJAG serves two primary roles in Star Fleet.

 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. SFJAG serves two primary roles in Star Fleet. It is the foundation for the criminal justice system on all Starfleet property, responsible for providing judges and lawyers to conduct trials in order to determine the guilt or innocence of the accused. Thus, after the Security and Investigation Service (SECIS) has taken a subject into custody, it is the responsibility of SFJAG to determine if the charges have merit, set a bond, provide for both the prosecution and defense, and then assign what ever discipline is warranted. The second role of the Judge Advocate General is to provide on site legal interpretations for the command staff trying to understand that minor point in intergalactic law. Gone are the days of cowboy diplomacy where the person with the biggest guns were right. Now, Star Fleet officers are expected and required to follow intergalactic treaties when dealing with other races. Although computers can provide every small detail of a treaty, SFJAG provides the interpretations 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. |
