2.  The curriculum for these courses provides familiarization with the Uniform Code of Military Justice, administrative fact-finding bodies, administrative separation procedures, the court-martial process, and ethics. Travel, lodging, and per diem costs will be the responsibility of individual commands. For either in-person or virtual offerings, full attendance is required to receive course completion credit for each course.
3.  Eligibility.
a.  Senior Leader Legal Course (SLLC):  The SLLC is a three-day course designed to prepare O-5 and O-6 commanding officers, executive officers, and E-8 and E-9 senior enlisted leaders / advisors for the legal issues they will likely face as a command triad and team. Due to a reduction in quotas for FY24, requests for attendance outside of the stated target audience will no longer be approved.
b.  Legal Officer Course (LOC):  The LOC is a two-week course designed to prepare non-lawyer personnel to assist the command with military justice matters and investigations. This course is open to commissioned officers in paygrades O-1 to O-4 and CWO2 to CWO5 who are designated in writing as legal officers or who will be assuming the role of legal officer within six months. Enlisted Marines who wish to attend the course require a waiver. Waiver requests must be forwarded by the enlisted Marine's executive officer (memorandum for record) representing that the member is the primary legal officer at the command and that no commissioned officers are available to fulfill the role of a legal officer. All waiver requests should be submitted to JPI@usmc.mil.
