Professor Gilberg spent over twenty years serving on active duty in the United States Army Judge Advocate General’s (JAG) Corps before retiring from the service in 2025. He has served in locations around the world, to include Kansas, Kentucky, New York, Maryland, Virginia, Germany, and Kuwait. At the time of his retirement, he was widely regarded as one of the Army’s best litigators and most experienced military justice practitioners.
During his time in the JAG Corps, Professor Gilberg practiced criminal law almost exclusively, serving as a defense counsel in three separate assignments and as a prosecutor four times. On both sides of the aisle, he handled thousands of criminal law cases, with nearly 600 of them resulting in a court-martial. Professor Gilberg has prosecuted and defended many of the Army’s most serious cases, to include those involving rape, sexual assault, aggravated assault, child abuse, and murder.
