GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. The purpose of this MARADMIN is to provide
guidance for the fiscal year 2025 Senior Leader Legal Course and
Legal Officer Course.
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 team. Due to limited
quotas for FY25, requests for attendance outside of the stated target
audience will no longer be approved. The SLLC is not a training
requirement. The SLLC may be attended to supplement Cornerstone, The
Commandant's Combined Commandership Course, at Marine Corps
University, which is a training requirement.
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 [email protected].
