As an OGC attorney, your day-to-day work will be as part of the
OGC Central Office or an Office of Counsel for a particular Navy or Marine
Corps Command. And your clients will be a part of that Command, such as the Naval
Air Systems Command or the Naval Sea Systems Command. The practices of OGC attorneys
are as diverse as the clients they serve. For example, one OGC attorney in Washington,
D.C. might be helping to plan for a purchase of a new class of destroyers, a state-of-the
art communications satellite, or a new type of aircraft. Another OGC attorney, in
a western state, might be litigating the effect of the relocation of Marine Corps
helicopter squadron on the surrounding environment. In one of the Navy's research
laboratories, an attorney might be preparing a patent application for a new sonar
device. Yet another OGC attorney, anywhere in the country, might be helping to interpret
a collective bargaining agreement.
