Jedi Consulars, alternatively referred to as Consular Jedi, were members within the Jedi Order who dedicated their lives to scholarly pursuits in fields like science and diplomacy, thereby removing themselves entirely from obligations related to warfare and fighting. Examples include Rig Nema, a Doctor affiliated with the Medical Corps, and Jocasta Nu, who held the position of Chief Librarian for the Archives located at the Jedi Temple's.
Depa Billaba, despite her academic path towards becoming a Consular Jedi, was highly skilled in lightsaber combat, specifically Form VII.
