Crimes and Defenses Deskbook — JA 337

The Criminal Law Department at The US Army Judge Advocate General’s Legal Center and School intends for this deskbook to serve as an initial resource for military justice practitioners conducting legal research into Criminal Law matters. It highlights many of the issues associated with litigating various crimes and defenses. Military justice practitioners and military justice managers are free to produce paper copies as needed. The deskbook is neither an all-encompassing academic treatise nor a definitive digest of all of the military substantive criminal caselaw. Readers should consult the cases themselves and relevant primary resources in their criminal law practice. Nevertheless, the deskbook should be accurate, current, and, as much as possible, comprehensive.
