UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS
\nOFFICER SELECTION STATION NASHVILLE
\n510 N. THOMPSON, STE E
\nMURFREESBORO TN, 37128
\nGreetings from the Marine Corps Officer Selection Team here in Nashville, TN.
\nMy name is Captain Joe Bianca. I am an Officer Selection Officer for the United States Marine Corps. My job is to
\nscreen, select, and train the next generation of Marine Corps Officers here in Tennessee. We are currently in the
\ndirect market for Marine Corps Judge Advocates. As someone that is currently BAR certified, you have the
\nopportunity and qualification to commission as a Marine Corps Second Lieutenant and become a Marine Corps
\nJudge Advocate. Have you ever considered becoming a Marine Corps Judge Advocate? We would love to open the
\nlines of communication if you are interested in hearing more.
\nLEADER, WARRIOR, ATTORNEY
\nTo practice law is a privilege. To practice law as a Marine Officer is a distinction reserved for the few who have
\nwhat it takes mentally, morally, and physically, to become a leader of Marines. If you prove yourself worthy, you
\nwill not only serve in the field of law, but you will serve your country as an officer in the United States Marine
\nCorps. After successfully completing law school and Officer Candidate School (OCS), you will have proven to
\nyourself and to the Corps that you have what it takes to be an officer and judge advocate among the world\u2019s greatest
\nwarriors. As a Marine Judge Advocate (JA), you will immediately be given the responsibilities of maintaining your
\nown caseload and advising Marines on legal issues. Additionally, the training you receive as a Marine Corps Officer
\nwill prepare you to be a leader from day one. While most new civilian attorneys are relegated to research duty on
\ncases tried by others, you will be building your skills and acquiring real legal experience in the courtroom.
\nTHE MARINE JUDGE ADVOCATE
\nThe Judge Advocate Division is much like a large firm, composed of more than 400 judge advocates and a
\ncomparable support staff. While you will most likely serve as a prosecutor or defense counsel in military courtsmartial during your first tour, you will also have the opportunity during your career to practice law in areas as
\ndiverse as operational law, family law, environmental law, labor law and international law. Additionally, you may
\nargue appellate cases before the Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals of the Armed Forces.
\nMarine JAs have addressed difficult international law issues such as arms control, the Geneva Conventions and
\nmilitary commissions. Marine JAs serve worldwide in such places as southern California, Washington D.C., Hawaii,
\nJapan, Spain, Italy, and Germany. JAs have had the opportunity to deploy in just about every international crisis,
\nfrom Grenada, Kosovo and Somalia to Haiti, Djibouti, Iraq and Afghanistan.
\nPROFESSIONS INSTEAD OF ONE
\nAs a judge advocate, you are first and foremost a Marine Officer. This means that before you take on courtroom
\nduties, you will be trained as a leader and warrior. You will attend the same Officer Candidates School as any other
\npotential officer, and you will learn the duties and skills of a Marine Officer at The Basic School. In addition to your
\nlegal responsibilities, you may eventually have the opportunity to serve in billets outside of the legal field, to include
\ncommanding your own unit.
\nIf you have questions about this unique program, please feel free to give me a call or shoot me an email at the below
\ninformation. If you would like to begin the no-obligation screening to see if you are initially qualified, please send
\nme an email and we will get that started for you. We are looking forward to hearing from you!
\nVery Respectfully,
\nCaptain Joe Bianca
