The Judge Advocate General (JAG), is a DJO High Command officer and watches over the DJO disciplinary system in the capacity of a hearing officer. The JAG is charged with the obligation to balance and defend the rights of the membership; as both an organization and an individual. He serves as a buffer between the opposing sides in a hearing to minimize confrontation.

The JAG's office handles disciplinary review matters within the Organization. An appeal of non disciplinary command decisions made should be done within the clubs direct chain of command and not to the office of the JAG.

The JAG will be chosen by the Active System Administration after hearing the Board of GDC/XOs. The JAG can neither be GDC/XO of any club nor hold any club level advisor position to avoid situations of conflicts of interest.
