JAG Alumni

Welcome to the JAG Alumni portion of the JAG Website. The JAG Alumni, as the name implies, is the collective identifier of former Regular and Reserve Force legal officers, military and civilian court reporters, CF members and civilians who have served or been employed in the Office of the Canadian Forces JAG in Canada and abroad. To the extent there is an organization, it follows that of the JAG Office (old habits die hard) and is regional in nature and scope. Its existence keeps an alumnus connected with fellow alumni and the JAG community.

Mission: The JAG Alumni mission is to facilitate and enable a lifelong partnership and commitment of current and future alumni to the CF and the Office of the JAG.

Building on the traditions and history of the Canadian Forces Legal Branch and the Office of the JAG, the Alumni:

• Unites in a continuing support for the mandate and role of the CF JAG.
• Encourages a public awareness of the JAG, The Legal Branch, the Office of the JAG and the CF.
• Promotes the best interests of Canada, the CF, the JAG and his/her officers and staff.
• Provides military, legal and information of general interest to Alumni members.
• Fosters alumni networking, fellowship, activities and comradeship.

Being associated with the JAG Alumni is a great way to stay connected or reconnect with Branch and Office friends and colleagues as well as maintain currency or get caught up with the activities of colleagues. You can get in touch with the JAG Alumni by completing and submitting the “Keep-in-Touch” form set out in the link, below.
