Coast Guard Court of Criminal Appeals

The Coast Guard Court of Criminal Appeals (CGCCA) is a military court that reviews decisions made by lower courts involving service members in the Coast Guard. It acts as an appellate court, meaning it examines cases to ensure that legal procedures were followed and that justice was served. The CGCCA is part of the broader Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces, which oversees similar courts for all branches of the military. Its role is to uphold the rule of law and ensure fair treatment for service members in criminal cases.
