JAG Corps Mission

Provide the Department of the Air Force, commanders, and personnel with professional, full-spectrum legal support, at the speed of relevance, for mission success in joint and coalition operations

JAG Corps Vision

Disciplined and legally-enabled Air and Space professionals and organizations employing the law to advance the mission

The MacDill AFB legal office provides personal and civil legal services. Air Force legal assistance attorneys cannot assist clients with legal matters for which counsel has already been retained. Service will not be provided to represent members in court, or in administrative hearings. Legal assistance attorneys cannot offer legal advice on criminal issues, official Air Force matters (such as promotions, assignments, or administrative actions), or matters involving personal business transactions (except for Servicemember's Relief Act issues). In cases requiring specialized knowledge of the law, the legal office may recommend consultation with a civilian attorney.
