submitted 60 years ago by Pub. L. 89-554 to r/title-28-JUDICIARY-AND-JUDICIAL-PROCEDURE · 67 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

A legal question can come up while running the Army, Navy, or Air Force. If no other officer is authorized to answer it, the Secretary sends it to the Attorney General. The Attorney General then resolves the question.

This section tells military department secretaries when to send a legal question to the Attorney General. If a question of law arises in administering the Department of the Army, the Department of the Navy, or the Department of the Air Force, and no statute gives some other officer the authority to advise on it, the Secretary of that military department must send the question to the Attorney General for disposition — meaning the Attorney General resolves it.
