Our largest commissioning source is the Student Program (SP), designed for law students and described in our Student Program Fact Sheet. Licensed attorneys may apply annually for the Direct Appointment (DA) Program, described in that fact sheet. Active duty military officers holding law degrees should contact the Accessions Detailer (see paragraph #40) as our lateral transfer program is currently closed. Active duty naval officers without law degrees who desire transfer to the Navy JAG Corps should read SECNAVINST 1520.7 (series) for a discussion of the Law Education Program (LEP). Naval ROTC program (NROTC) does not have a JAGC commissioning option. Accordingly, pursuit of a commission through NROTC for the principal purpose of qualifying for LEP is not recommended.
