Tending the Garden: A Post-Trial Primer for Chiefs of Criminal Law

摘要

This article has demonstrated that the individual steps of the post trial process are not particularly complicated, once you have a thorough understanding of how the process works. In addition to this article, RCM 1101 through RCM 1210, Articles 57 through 76a of the UCMJ, AR 27-10 paragraphs 5-29 through 5-48, and the Clerk of Court's Post-Trial Handbook are important reading in order to gain an understanding of the overall post-trial process. By understanding the post-trial process and tending to it daily, not only should your office's post-trial process be successful, but it will remain manageable and allow you to devote more time to other important aspects of your office's mission.
