The primary resource used in the SLLC is the USN/USMC Commander’s Quick Reference Legal Handbook (QUICKMAN). Students will be provided with personal copies of the QUICKMAN at check-in on the first day of the course (links to the QUICKMAN for virtual). Additional reference materials will also be provided via email at the outset of the course. This guide provides procedural information to assist commanders with legal matters within their command. While this guide serves as a useful tool to spot and develop solutions for legal issues, it is not a substitute for the informed advice of a judge advocate. This reference, like all reference material, is meant as a guide and is not, by itself, authoritative legal or regulatory information. Statutes and service regulations always supersede contradictory guidance that may be contained in this reference. Under all circumstances, commanders ‐ whether utilizing this guide or not ‐ are strongly urged to contact a judge advocate to seek personal guidance in handling all legal issues that may arise in execution of command responsibilities.

SLLC is primarily conducted as an in-person course at NJS designed for attendance as an intermediate stop in the execution of attendees' PCS orders. The course generally commences on Tuesday morning and concludes on Thursday afternoon, with occasional exceptions due to holidays. For each day of the SLLC, instruction commences at 0800 and concludes by 1630. Attendance at all blocks of instruction is required in order to receive credit for completing the course so we recommend you book your flights accordingly.

For personnel who are unable to attend the in-person course, NJS also offers a number of virtual SLLC courses throughout the year. These are dedicated online courses, specially tailored to the virtual environment to take advantage of the tools it provides and overcome the challenges typically associated with online instruction. The course uses the Zoom for Government platform; in order to participate, you will need access to Zoom for Government from a non-NMCI computer. Virtual SLLCs generally run from Tuesday through Thursday, with instruction beginning at 0900 and ending by 1700 each day in the United States Eastern Time Zone.
