UNSC Judge Advocate General's Corps
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
The UNSC Judge Advocate General's Corps (JAG)[1] is an organization of the United Nations Space Command concerned with legal matters. JAG officers also serve in courts-martial or on boards of inquiry. Captain Maria Gilliam was one such officer in 2492 at the Luna OCS Academy.[2] JAG officers are also sent to investigate crimes involving the UNSC on human colonies; for example, Major Ira Halal was sent to investigate a series of murders on Gao and to ensure that anti-Unified Earth Government radicals on the planet did not plant false evidence on the crime scenes to frame the UNSC for the murders.[1][3]
Among the other responsibilities of the JAG Corps is the issuing of various protocols that stipulate punishments for offenses.[4] Some of these punishments can be quite draconian. The JAG 845-P protocol authorizes the imprisonment for life or execution without a proper trial of offenders who commit treason or violate the Cole Protocol.[5]
