[quote=Anonymous]Please, relatively current information requested.

My son is in college, and wants to go to law school. He is interested in the JAG Corps, he cites a variety of reasons including financial, public service, opportunity to gain trial experience, and what he envisions as structure (he’s not structured by nature, but has a few athletic and club commitments that keep him on a tight schedule in college and he sees a huge value in the enforced structure).

I am an attorney, but know nothing about the JAG Corps. I imagine it is extremely competitive to be accepted, along the lines of a service academy. He goes to a small liberal arts college (with a liberal student body and faculty) and I suspect almost no one in his college has ever joined the JAG Corps, much more likely the Peace Corps.

When do you apply- during law school, or before? 
What is the culture like?
Do you actually get the strong trial experience that DS envisions?
Most concerning to me- are you ever in dangerous military situations? (I am so appreciative to those who do serve in those situations, but no one in our family is military and it has never crossed my mind that one of my kids might be).

Thanks for the information. [/quote]
