Marine lawyers must undergo training in both standard law school and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Marine attorneys specialize in all legal matters in the Marine Corp, and are highly specialized in dealing with all forms of military law. The military operates its own justice system called "military justice." This system governs all members of the United States military. Military members are not "taken to court" so much as they undergo "court-martial."

Marine attorneys must also be well-versed in maritime (also known as admiralty) law. Maritime law is a domestic and private international law governing all entities which operate seafaring vessels – different from the public international Law of the Sea.

If you are a Marine Corp member in need of legal counsel or representation, you must seek out a military attorney. Contact one of these Tampa Marine lawyers today.
