+ Courts of Military Review
These intermediate appellate criminal courts, formerly constituted as Boards of Review, were established by the Military Justice Act of 1968 (10 U.S.C.A. No. 866) to review court-martial convictions of their respective services.
These courts are operated by the Army, Air Force, Navy/Marine Corps and the Coast Guard. Each court has one or more panels and each panel is composed of at least three appellate military judges. The court may sit in panels or en banc. The courts possess independent fact-finding powers and may weigh evidence, judge witness credibility, and determine controverted questions of fact, giving due deference to the findings of the trial court. The court reviews cases in which the punishment imposed extends to death, dismissal or punitive discharge, or confinement for one year or more, except when the service member voluntarily waives the right to appeal. The court also possesses extraordinary writs power. Its opinions are subject to review by the United States Court of Military Appeals.
