How is pretrial advice from the NAF CC prepared?

• A. It must be prepared by the GCM SJA personally
• B. It must be prepared by the defense
• C. It is prepared by the Judge Advocate General
• D. It can be prepared by another member of the GCM SJA staff

Answer: (D)

Pretrial advice is produced within the GCM SJA office and can be drafted by another member of that staff, not only by the GCM SJA personally. This reflects how the JAG team distributes work among qualified attorneys to handle caseload efficiently while preserving professional standards and ensuring timely, accurate guidance. The defense doesn’t prepare this guidance, and it isn’t required that the Judge Advocate General personally write every advisory; instead, the office delegates drafting to capable colleagues under appropriate oversight.
