A long-running military legal procedural that balances courtroom drama with character relationships, sustained by a reliable case-of-the-week structure and the central partnership between its two leads.

Harmon "Harm" Rabb Jr. is a former pilot turned lawyer working for the military's JAG (Judge Advocate General) division, the elite legal wing of officers that prosecutes and defends those accused of military-related crimes. He works closely with Lt. Col. Sarah Mackenzie, and together they do what needs to be done to find the truth.
