Court-Martial

It depends on the person's status at the time of the offence, the type of offence, and who else was involved. In general, military courts hear criminal cases against people who fall under military court jurisdiction, but the law sets exceptions that send some cases to the civilian courts of justice, for example when civilians took part in the offence. A lawyer will check which court has jurisdiction in your case.

Generally yes. In military courts in normal times, the defendant has the right to appoint a lawyer. Military courts in abnormal times, such as under martial law, may have different restrictions. A lawyer will check what applies in your case.
