It's the military equivalent of a courthouse. It's run by an officer called the Judge Advocate General. They have a prosecutions branch, a branch that handles criminal defense (it's called Trial Defense Service), they do international law, handle claims against the government, do some civil law...in order to join the military and be a lawyer you must already be a lawyer (lawyers, like physicians, enter the military as Navy Lieutenants or Captains in the other three branches), but they have legal assistants and you can enlist for that.
