Concept information

Preferred term

Court of Military Appeals  

Definition(s)

  • A product of post–World War II lawmaking, the Court of Military Appeals is evidence of the reform impulse triggered by that war. The court, created because veterans thought their sacrifices deserved a fairer system of military criminal justice than the one they had experienced during the war, presided over a sea change in the way American courts-martial operated.
