	Military Law - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Minor civil offences, when not committed within military lines, or when the person affected by the offence is a civilian, or when it is a case for a jury, or where intricate questions of law may arise, may also be brought before a civil tribunal.
		Military law is thus chiefly to be found in the Army Act and the rules of procedure made thereunder, the Militia Acts, the Reserve Forces Acts and the Volunteer Acts, together with certain acts relating to the yeomanry, the Territorial and Reserve Forces Act 1907, and various royal warrants and regulations.
		With regard to all civil offences the military law, it is to be understood, is subordinate to the ordinary law, and a civilian aggrieved by a soldier in respect of a criminal offence against his property or person does not forfeit his right to prosecute the soldier as if he were a civilian.

		It is distinguished from both martial law (rule by domestic military forces over an area) and military government (rule by the military over occupied foreign territory).
		In time of peace it is generally limited to military offenses—e.g., absence without leave, desertion, breach of orders; during war it usually extends to crimes of a civil nature as well, and the penalties may be more severe.
		The origin of much military law is found in the codes and statutes enacted in England in the 17th cent.

		Military law differs from military government in that the latter refers particularly to the military jurisdiction exercised by an army of occupation over the territory and inhabitants of an enemy country.
		The statutes of military law establish systems of military courts and include penal codes defining the offenses for which persons subject to the code may be punished.
		Military personnel charged with crimes of a civil nature may be tried by military courts if the crime is service-connected or of military significance, or if it occurs outside the United States or its possessions.

	Law.com - Military Tribunal Case Comes Before Skeptical Supreme Court
		At issue were military tribunals set up by the White House to try suspected terrorists, including Salim Hamdan, said to be the driver for Osama bin Laden, in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.
		But a panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit reversed, ruling that the military commissions were authorized by the Uniform Code of Military Justice and by the congressional authorization of military force that was passed after the Sept. 11 attacks.
		Hamdan's lead lawyer, Neal Katyal, a professor at Georgetown University Law Center, had planted the seeds of doubt earlier with a forceful presentation that outlined the ways in which the military commissions Bush established in the aftermath of Sept. 11 violated the Geneva Conventions, the laws of war, and the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

	Military Law and Justice (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Military life is deserving of close scrutiny for many reasons, not the least of which is because how a nation's armed forces handle their duties and deal with their burdens have important ramifications for many aspects of national security.
		Civilian expertise is needed to guide the military toward a more effective accomplishment of national defense and national security goals, but the military should be granted the autonomy to conduct their training, operations, and promotion of officers in accordance with professional standards and without political interference or micro-management.
		The military justice system and military courts were therefore in existence well before the founding fathers drafted Article III of the United States Constitution in 1787 creating the skeletal foundation of the American court system.

	VIETNAM STUDIES
		That war affects law is not apparent to many Americans, who are so used to peace at home, where their courts continuously function, that it is very hard for them to visualize how combat interferes with the legal process.
		It was early apparent that law could have a special role in Vietnam because of the unusual circumstances of the war, which was a combination of internal and external war, of insurgency and nation-building, and of development of indigenous legal institutions and rapid disintegration of the remnants of the colonial French legal establishment.
		Nominally it was a derivative of the French civil law system, but in practice this law is not what impacted on the bulk of the population, at least outside of the three or four largest cities.

		Military pensions like their civilian counterparts are divisible in the event of divorce, but are subject to different rules than the more common Qualified Domestic Relations Orders for private retirement accounts or Domestic Relations Orders for state and municipal pensions.
		Federal law may also affect where the parties end up in court, so planning and strategizing require a thorough grasp of the special rules governing military divorce.
