## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Military & Defence Law](https://ailawframework.com/practice/military-and-defence-law.md) |
| Human involvement | Green: AI drafts, lawyer checks |
| How AI is used | Enter the charge, the date of the offence, the forum and the next date from the papers the lawyer supplies into the register template. |
| What the lawyer must review | The register is an index. The Uniform Code of Military Justice, not the Defence Force Discipline Act, governs. Article 15 (10 U.S.C. § 815) is nonjudicial punishment. Article 16 (10 U.S.C. § 816) classifies general, special and summary courts-martial. You confirm each entry against the charge sheet or the Article 15 paper. Opinion 512 and Model Rule 1.6: the file does not go into a public tool. |
