*Transmission Pipes though*

Cadets you have done very well.

now all Cadets have past year one and now you are in Year two

change the avatars accordly.

This Part of your J.A.G Course will conciss of discussions

here is the first proplem for you to solve

you are a J.A.G Investager in Sector 236235 you have been informed by un confirmed sourse that Captian Bill Blioggions of the U.S.S Lollypop a Defint class Starship while on Patrol of the Klingon Border opened fire first to a transport no report of the inscided was given to Starfleet Command and the Captian of the Lollypop is hostail to J.A.G Officers and the Information needed is on bord the LollyPop how do you go about to start the Investagation you rank in this situation is Lieutennent

*give me all points*

[T'mpal]

"The answer is depends on a couple of factors: do I have access to communications while confined to my quarters, was I able to file my final report, if I brought a security detail with me have they been disarmed.  Assuming the worst that I was unable to report my findings or submit a situation report and that any security detail that may have accompanied me have been confined in a seperate area.  I would attempt to speak with the XO and tell him that he must relieve the CO for attacking an unarmed vessel, obstruction of justice, and other violations of Starfleet regulations.  If he refused, I would make a note in my report and attempt to discuss the same with the third-in-command, etc.  The division CO who oversees the assignments to the ship should have recognized if every single officer had been comprimised.  In my conversations with the XO or others I would try and impress on them that their first duty as Starfleet officers is to the truth and to upholding interstellar law."

[T'mpal]

Prior to the ship's arival I would request the four officers' service records and psych evaluations.  Before begining any questionig, I would also look into any orders given on a time-delay for decompression of the cargo bay.  I would also find out how long the COs sister/TACs wife had been deceased.

A face appeared on a large viewscreen in the room.
"Cadet, I am Fleet Admiral Tom Hobson. Admiral Ransom is on a leave of several weeks. He might be able to check in every now and then, but I will resume with you as a substitute instructor. Since his leave is a matter of weeks, it is probable that I will also graduate you if you complete the course studies. I will conduct the lessons from my office on Frontier Station, since I am needed here, and cannot be in two places at once. When you acknowledge, I will resume with you this JAG class. Admiral Ransom has left no course guide, so I will research on my own and create lessons".

[William Taylor]

"No questions. I'm ready to do anything to finish as early as possible"

[William Taylor]

"The situation would not be resolved by force. It would be done using diplomats in sessions. Starfleet itself would only need to use ships to be sure the weapons traded are not sold to other factions or races. And to secure Ambassador travel. No penalty would be given to the Rear Admiral in my ruling. However he would be told of his mistake. And a warning of sort given."

[Tom Hobson]

"We will move to more information before discussing further:"

The Judge Advocate General's Corps 1-2. Reflecting Starfleet's strategic roles in an increasingly complex universe, the JAGC provides mission essential legal services in many different fields, including military justice, planetary contracting, claims, litigation, operational law, interplanetary law, legal assistance, environmental law, mobilization law, and more. All members of the Judge Advocate General's Corps--judge advocates, legal warrant officers, legal noncommissioned officers, legal specialists, and court reporters--provide professional legal services to Starfleet.

Quote

Mission 1-3. Starfleet's mission is to:      a. Provide a visible, credible, and realistic capability to support the Federation's political initiatives.      b. Deter war against the Federation.      c. Win and terminate a conflict on terms favorable to the Federation if war should occur.      d. Research and exploration of space. 1-4. The JAGC's primary mission in a theater of operations is to support the commander of his assigned unit by providing professional legal services as far forward as possible at all echelons of command throughout the operational continuum.

"From here, we will move into the legal services of the Judge Advocate General Corps. This course will get no easier, you are here to become the deciding branch of this fleet's legal system. Your decisions and actions set precedents, your judgement is paramount. If either of you feel you are not up to the task of learning Starfleet and Federation law, you are better to take something more flat, such as marines or security. If you are prepared for the responsibility of this service, JAG service. Then we will continue, and go further in depth".

He keyed more information to the screen.

Legal services 1-5. Legal personnel provide legal services in the form of professional advice, representation, support, research, training, and assistance designed to resolve legal issues to commanders, staffs, and other authorized personnel. The commander determines legal requirements based on the mission and the law. Legal services are an element of the Personnel Support Services (PSS) mission area and support the Command and Control and Combat Service Support (CSS). Three types of legal services exist: organizational, judicial, and defense. 1-6. Organizational legal services sustain the organization. Organizational legal services support:      a. Commanders. The commander is responsible for the unit's good order, discipline, morale, and welfare. The commander must command and employ his forces in accordance with the law. Legal personnel provide all commanders the legal services necessary to properly execute these responsibilities under the law, customs, and traditions of Starfleet service.      b. The organization. Legal operations increase unit readiness in peace and enhance combat effectiveness in war. In peace, legal operations ensure the organization is prepared to mobilize, deploy, and fight. During conflict, legal operations help sustain the organization.      c. Starfleet Personnel. The key to an organization's readiness is the individual persons readiness and morale. Legal personnel provide legal services-such as legal assistance and claims--to personnel, their family members, and other authorized personnel to maintain a high degree of personal readiness and morale. Legal services, including judicial and defense legal services, also maintain discipline and morale by assuring the fair and impartial administration of justice.

"What is a common principle we see in Organizational legal services? Morale. The well being of the officers within, their families. Smooth operation is very important. Any disputes during a time of tense conflict must be resolved without further tension. Violations of orders must be dealt with after the conflict, be it war, combat, and such. Are you both in understanding so far? Do not hesitate to ask questions, or begin discussion on a point you find you do not follow, or that you find very interesting".

[Clyde Eastwood]

*Eastwood made his way up to the cadets desk*

"Alright cadet here is a senario for you, lets say you are a Commander and you have orders to arrest a Fleet Captain for reasons you believe is just caused, can it be done and give me your reasons behind your answer"
