I've been wondering about this recently.

I know that the JAG Corps isn't available for graduates right out of West Point... but is there a way you can become a JAG?
 
@Jarhead713 i was recently at an admissions meeting for USMA and from what they said and what I’ve heard from others you cannot branch into JAG but after fulfilling 2-3 years of service the army can send you to law school (or you can go yourself) and then try and lateral transfer from the branch your in into JAG.

That is correct. I did not mean to imply that the West Point graduates went straight to law school. All of them did service in another branch first.
