The Judge Advocate General Branch of the Pakistan Armed Forces is composed of Pakistan's Military senior officers who are also highly professional and well-trained lawyers and judges who provide legal services to the Army, Air Force, Navy, and Marines at all levels of command[1]. The Judge Advocate General's Legal Service includes judge advocates, warrant officers, paralegal noncommissioned officers and junior enlisted personnel, and civilian employees[2]. In Pakistan, the Judge Advocate General can be rise at the rank of Lieutenant-General or either the Major or Brigadier-General. The JAG is currently led by the combined Pakistan Armed Forces's senior-rank officers that includes the Vice Admirals of the Navy, Air Marshals of the Air Force, and the Lieutenant-Generals of the Army whose names are kept highly classified.
