Text — Current through the 89th 2nd Called Legislative Session, 2025
(a) If the convening authority is the governor, the governor's action on the review of any record of trial is final.
(b) If the convening authority is not the governor, and if the sentence of a special court-martial as approved by the convening authority includes a dishonorable discharge, whether or not suspended, the entire record shall be sent to the appropriate judge advocate or legal officer of the state military forces concerned to be reviewed in the same manner as a record of trial by general court-martial. The record and the opinion of the judge advocate or legal officer shall then be sent to the state judge advocate general for review.
(c) All other special and summary court-martial records shall be sent to the judge advocate or legal officer of the appropriate force of the state military forces and shall be acted on, transmitted, and disposed of as prescribed by regulations of the governor.
(d) The state judge advocate general shall review the record of trial in each case sent to him for review under Subsection (b). If the final action of the court-martial has resulted in an acquittal of all charges and specifications, the opinion of the state judge advocate general is limited to questions of jurisdiction.
(e) The state judge advocate general shall take final action in any case reviewable by him.
