Military Appeals Courts

Military Appeals Courts are specialized judicial bodies that review decisions made in military courts-martial, which handle criminal cases involving service members. These courts ensure that legal rights are protected and that military justice is applied fairly and consistently. They assess issues like evidence, legal procedures, and fairness of trials. If a service member believes their conviction or sentence was unjust, they can appeal to these courts for a review. Ultimately, Military Appeals Courts help maintain the integrity of the military justice system and uphold the rule of law within the armed forces.
