After being diagnosed with night blindness, Lt. Cmdr. Harmon Rabb, an F-14 Tomcat fighter pilot, is forced to change careers. Cmdr. Rabb chooses to join the Navy’s Judge Advocate General (JAG) Corps. There he both defends and sometimes prosecutes Navy and Marine Corps defendants. He is sometimes assisted by fellow lawyer, Lt. Sarah “Mac” MacKenzie, and his other fellow JAG staff.
Many of Rabb’s cases require him to both keep up his F-14 qualifications and travel the world, in order to bring justice to the cases he is trying.
Rabb must also deal with the fact that his father, also a former Navy pilot, never returned home after being held prisoner after he was shot down in North Vietnam. Rabb believing his father is still alive continues the search he has pursued to find his father, since his teens.

The fact that this show was cancelled by NBC and brought back the very next year by CBS to become the juggernaut that it was, and spawn the juggernaut that is NCIS, I'm really astounded because what CBS did would have never happened these days. And the fact that many of my favourite guest actors on JAG were guys I originally saw on The West Wing. only annoying thing was Mac and Rabb should have got married in Season 3.
