(military slang) A know-it-all.
Military slang for a soldier who has an inflated sense of their legal or regulatory knowledge and likes to argue rules, regulations, or rights with superior officers — without any actual legal training. The 'barracks lawyer' is typically seen as a nuisance: the person in any unit who always has an opinion on what the rules say, usually to complain or avoid duty. The term is broadly contemptuous and implies that the person's 'expertise' is self-appointed and often wrong. Equivalent civilian terms include 'jailhouse lawyer.'
