Commander Harmon "Harm" Rabb, Jr. (David James Elliott) and Lieutenant Colonel Sarah "Mac" MacKenzie (Catherine Bell) are lawyers assigned to the Headquarters of the Judge Advocate General, the internal law firm of the Department of the Navy. Mac, a seasoned Marine and JAG's Chief of Staff, is a lawyer-by-trade, while Harm, a former Tomcat pilot, turned to law following a crash at sea. Together, they investigate numerous cases, including espionage ("A Tangled Webb"), a death in combat ("The One That Got Away"), an Islamic conversion at sea ("Touchdown"), the death of an Iraqi prisoner ("The Boast"), and a Quaker who feels the Navy contradicts his fundamental religious beliefs ("Posse Comitatus"). Also this season, Harm departs JAG ("Shifting Sands") and is recruited by the CIA ("Secret Agent Man"), Commander Carolyn Imes (Dana Sparks) reveals she has faked her legal credentials ("Back in the Saddle"), the Secretary of the Navy (Dean Stockwell) is held accountable for deaths of foreign soil ("People v. SecNav"), the team reflect on what could have been ("What If?"), Mac must track down seized heroin ("Trojan Horse"), and Harriet Sims (Karri Turner) is given a commendation. Also, Bud Roberts (Patrick Labyorteaux) is promoted to Lieutenant Commander, the Admiral Chegwidden (John M. Jackson) retires, and Harm and Mac consider their future ("Hail and Farewell").
