While a city the size of Omaha can have a law department with dozens of attorneys specializing in areas such as taxation and prosecution, smaller communities in the Metro can't afford that luxury.

Turning to outside law firms to represent them in civil matters and to provide legal counsel on ordinances and such, communities like Valley and Waterloo have learned to lean on their attorneys' expertise.

Beyond the Courtroom: How Offutt’s JAG Team Balances Justice, Readiness, and Service

Published by maggie@omahadai... on Thu, 05/01/2025 - 12:00am
A JAG tradition is painting tiles with each of the office’s sections. At Offutt, servicemembers went a step further and honored General Curtis LeMay, the first commander of the Strategic Air Command, whose office was in the building. His ghost is rumored to haunt the building, with people reporting faint aroma of LeMay’s cigar. (Tim Trudell / The Daily Record)

“A Few Good Men” is like a classic wine, aging well over the years. However, the hit movie about military lawyers falls short of reality, say actual lawyers with the Judge Advocate Group at Offutt Air Force Base. Especially, a classic scene depicting a junior officer’s challenge of a senior ranking official. The lawyer was warned he could face court-martial for challenging the colonel. Nothing could be farther from truth in reality, says Offutt’s JAG commander.
