Navy-Marine Corps Courts Martial

Navy-Marine Corps Courts Martial are military trials that handle cases involving service members accused of offenses under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). These courts operate similarly to civilian courts but follow specific military procedures and regulations. There are three types of courts martial: summary, special, and general, varying in seriousness of offenses and potential punishments. These courts ensure discipline, maintain order, and uphold military law, providing a fair process for both the accused and the government in addressing alleged misconduct within the Navy and Marine Corps.
