-Among the other responsibilities of the JAG Corps is the issuing of various [[:Category:UNSC Protocols|protocols]] that stipulate punishments for offenses.<ref>''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'', p. 122</ref> Some of these punishments can be quite draconian. The [[JAG 845-P]] protocol authorizes the imprisonment for life or [[capital punishment|execution]] without a proper trial of offenders who commit treason or violate the [[Cole Protocol]].<ref>''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'', p. 160 (2010)</ref>
+==History==
+[[Captain]] [[Maria Gilliam]] was an officer of the Judge Advocate General Corp's, serving in [[2492]] as the resident JAG officer at the [[Luna OCS Academy]]. She sat in on the [[board of inquiry]] to investigate the series of events that led to the impregnation of [[Admiral]] [[Konrad Volkov]]'s daughter [[Inna Volkov|Inna]]. [[Preston Cole]] was one of the questioned cadets.<ref name="he">"[[The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J. Cole]]" – ''[[Halo: Evolutions]]''</ref>
-[[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Maria Gilliam]] was an officer of the Judge Advocate General Corp's, serving on a board of inquiry in [[2492]] as the resident JAG officer at the [[Luna OCS Academy]].<ref name="he430"/> During [[Operation: JOVIAN WHISTLE]] in [[2553]], JAG officer [[Major]] [[Ira Halal]] was sent to investigate a series of murders on [[Gao]] and to ensure that anti-[[Unified Earth Government]] radicals on the planet did not plant false evidence on the crime scenes to frame the UNSC for the murders.<ref name="ll6"/><ref>''Halo: Last Light'', p. 26</ref>
+After [[Lieutenant Commander]] [[Amalea Petrov]] was left stranded on the desolate world of [[Netherop]] by the "[[Castoffs]]" in [[2526]], the Judge Advocate General's Corps opened a court of inquiry to investigate. [[Lieutenant]] [[J. Stone]] represented the interests of Petrov, while Lieutenant Commander [[B. Nett]] represented the young Castoffs who claimed that Petrov chose to be left behind on Netherop. The inequality in the ranks of the two JAG officers indicated that [[Vice Admiral]] Cole had intentionally favored the Castoffs over Petrov. Ultimately, the court of inquiry was closed in favor of the Castoffs.<ref name="oblivion ep">''[[Halo: Oblivion]]'', Epilogue</ref>
