California Military Law - Military Justice
Military law consists of the Uniform Code of Military Justice and other statutory provisions for the government of persons in the Armed Forces to which may be added the unwritten common law of the usage and custom of military service as well as regulations and authorized by the President as Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces (See 10 U.S.C.S. § 121). It is a part of our body of law as a whole, and is fully recognized by civil courts; it is in force in time of peace as well as in time of war. All persons serving in the Armed Forces of the United States are subject to military law at all times.

Courts-Martial Survival Tips:
- Talk only to your lawyer.
- You have an absolute right to remain silent. Use it always. Talking to investigators or your superiors will generally NOT help your case. It may, however, help convict you.
- Article 31 of the UCMJ (10 U.S.C. § 831) provides that: No person subject to this chapter may interrogate, or request any statement from, an accused or a person suspected of an offense without first informing him of the nature of the accusation and advising him that he does not have to make any statement regarding the offense of which he is accused or suspected, and that any statement made by him may be used as evidence against him in a trial by court-martial. Watch out for government investigators trying to "help" you. Remember they are paid to convict you, not to help you, and they may lie to you in order to get you to give them information.
Military Charges are very serious charges and demand that anyone facing such charges employ an experienced military justice attorney for his or her defense in order to protect your rights.
The right Military lawyer may be your ONLY DEFENSE against Courts-Martial and jail.
