YOUR CLIENTS
OGC serves the United States Navy and the
United States Marine Corps. As with all large
agencies, the work of the Department of the Navy is done through many
organizations ("Commands") who have special expertise and specific
responsibilities. OGC attorneys serve many of these Commands. OGC attorneys are
part of the Commands but are also responsible to the General Counsel of the Navy
for the quality of their legal advice.
As an OGC attorney, your day-to-day work will be as part of the
OGC Central Office or an Office of
Counsel for a particular Navy or Marine Corps Command. And your clients will
be a part of that Command, such as the Naval Air Systems Command or the Naval
Sea Systems Command. The practices of OGC attorneys are as diverse as the
clients they serve. For example, one OGC attorney in Washington, D.C. might be
helping to plan for a purchase of a new class of destroyers, a state-of-the art
communications satellite, or a new type of aircraft. Another OGC attorney, in a
western state, might be litigating the effect of the relocation of Marine Corps
helicopter squadron on the surrounding environment. In one of the Navy's
research laboratories, an attorney might be preparing a patent application for a
new sonar device. Yet another OGC attorney, anywhere in the country, might be
helping to interpret a collective bargaining agreement.
