JAG lawyers, Commander Harmon Rabb, Jr. and Lieutenant Colonel Sarah MacKenzie join forces to investigate cases of crimes that are committed by Navy and Marine personnel. They engage in adventurous activities in order to solve their cases. With Rabb's fighter pilot background, and MacKenzie's good looks, they are an unbeatable team both in and out of the courtroom.

 

They solve cases and problems of different kinds. From a psycho who wanted to bomb a cruise ship from a submarine to taking a risky mission of recon photos. Rabb used to be a fighter pilot until he and his co-pilot were in an accident. From then, he became a JAG. Every week he and Lt. Austin have a new case to solve.

This television series illustrates JAG-Officers applying the rules of the UCMJ and International Law as well as providing conventional television melodrama. The show relied in its initial phase much on Hollywood military-prop suppliers and using existing stock footage from other well-known naval and military films.
