No - the U.S.Navy, Army, and Air Force have their own Judge Advocate General (JAG) staff corps; the U.S. Marine Corps and the Coast Guard do not maintain their own separate staff corps, but have their own legal divisions.

The Marine Corps Judge Advocate Division, the Marines' legal arm, falls under the JAG of the Navy; the Coast Guard's equivalent is their CG Legal Division. Each branch corps or division specializes in prosecuting/defending cases within their own branch.

One major difference in Marine Corps lawyers is that unlike their staff officer counterparts in the other branches, they are full line officers, meaning they can fill any officer position (combat or otherwise) in the Fleet Marine Force.
