Minnesota JAGC Lawyers go to Iraq.

Posted on January 26, 2009 by Gavin Craig

The Minnesota Lawyer Blog has a nice article on the JAGC officers assigned to the Minnesota Army National Guard's 34th Infantry Division, and they are on their way to Iraq.  The JAG Corps is a great way for lawyers to serve their country and continue their professional career. 

I was in the Army JAGC in the late 70’s, and I gained experience I could not have gotten anywhere else.  How many young attorneys are allowed to try felony cases, or tell senior officers that they can’t do what they want to do, the way they want, because their proposal violates Federal law. 

Younger attorneys have asked me several times whether I would recommend the JAGC, and my answer was an unqualified, “Yes!”  The Minnesota National Guard lawyers will have an experience that will forever shape their professional career.  They will be  exposed to issues they never thought about before, and be expected to give legal advice with little chance to research or prepare. Our thought and prayers go with them.
