1947 JAG J. 1 (1947)

handle is hein.journals/naval1947 and id is 1 raw text is: S * * * * OFFICE OF TiHE JUDGE ADVOCATE GENERAL OF THE NAVY WAX ;WtGTON, 0. C. AUGUST 1947 R. Adm. 0. S. Colclough, USN R. Adm. G. L. Russell, USN The Judge Advocate General of the Navy rhe Assistant Judge Advocate General of the Navy FOREHtANDEDNESS always has been one of the prime attributes of a good naval officer. It combines alert appraisal and comprehension of the situation-at-hand with the ability to discern and plan agaiqst contingencies, and with the sure knowledge and professional skill to meet the situation squarely and successfully. This quality is as necessary to officers assigned to legal duties as it is to officers handling ships, or to Force Commanders engaged in battle. The term should have a special significance to~lawyers, since a good lawyer is distinguished more for his ability to foresee and avoid troubles for his clients than for his skill in facing them when they arise. The mission of THE JAG JOURNAL, therefore, is the development of legal forehandedness. In its pages will be disclosed the full scope of the duties, responsibilities and objectives of the Office of the Judge Advocate General of the Navy. Current methods and procedures will be discussed. I believe that with your full awareness of the situation and its contingencies added to basic legal proficiency and knowledge of Office trends and Department policy, we can work together to reduce avoidable errors, obviate needless delays, eliminate much dbplication of effort and achieve a desirable degree of uniformity in aims, methods and results. To this worthy endeavor I dedicate this informal publication. You can help it to accom- plish its mission by your timely suggestions.
