GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. The purpose of this MARADMIN is to provide
guidance for the Fiscal Year 2027 Senior Leader Legal Course (SLLC).
2. Course Description. The SLLC is a three-day course covering
topics such as investigations, Article 31(b) rights, non-punitive
measures, nonjudicial punishment, administrative separations,
officer misconduct, government ethics, gifts, fundraising, military
justice, sexual harassment, sexual assault, legal assistance,
overseas legal issues, freedom of expression, political activities,
religious accommodation, grievances/FOIA, civilian personnel law,
and reserve personnel law.
3. Travel, lodging, and per diem costs will be the
responsibility of the student’s command. Virtual courses are free to
attend. For either in-person or virtual offerings, full attendance
is required to receive course completion credit for each course.
4. Eligibility. While not required training, the SLLC is
designed to prepare command leadership teams for the legal
issues they will likely encounter. The eligible population for this
course includes executive officers, senior enlisted
leaders / advisors below the rank of Sergeant Major, and those commanders
not eligible to attend the Commandant’s Combined Commandership
Course (Cornerstone).
O-5 and O-6 board-selected commanders are
expected to receive the requisite legal instruction for their
command tours while attending Cornerstone; accordingly, while
they may attend SLLC, they are not the target audience for this
course.

be submitted at https:(slash)(slash) usmc.sharepoint-mil.us/sites
