| ==History== | | ==Known JAG protocols== |
| [[Captain]] [[Maria Gilliam]] was an officer of the Judge Advocate General Corps, serving in [[2492]] as the resident JAG officer at the [[Luna OCS Academy]]. She sat in on the [[board of inquiry]] to [[JAG Incident Report (local) 475-A|investigate]] the series of events that led to the impregnation of [[Admiral]] [[Konrad Volkov]]'s daughter, [[Inna Volkov|Inna]]. [[Preston Cole]] was one of the questioned cadets.<ref name="he">"[[The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J. Cole]]" – ''[[Halo: Evolutions]]''</ref>

| After [[Lieutenant Commander]] [[Amalea Petrov]] was left stranded on the desolate world of [[Netherop]] by the "[[Castoffs]]" in [[2526]], the Judge Advocate General's Corps opened a court of inquiry to investigate. [[Lieutenant]] [[J. Stone]] represented the interests of Petrov, while Lieutenant Commander [[B. Nett]] represented the young Castoffs who claimed that Petrov chose to be left behind on Netherop. The inequality in the ranks of the two JAG officers indicated that now-[[Vice Admiral]] Cole had intentionally favored the Castoffs over Petrov. Ultimately, the court of inquiry was closed in favor of the Castoffs.<ref name="oblivion ep">''[[Halo: Oblivion]]'', Epilogue</ref>
