Defending Washington D.C. Active-Duty Members

Non-Judicial Punishments

Non-judicial punishment proceedings are known by multiple names. They can be referred to as the following:

Article 15
Office hours
Non-judicial punishment mast

In this scenario, an appeal is available to the service member after the disposition of the non-judicial punishment. The following are three potential grounds for appeal:

Not enough evidence to find the service member guilty.
Punishment was too severe for the offense.
The commander failed to follow the laws/regulations during the non-judicial punishment proceedings.

Receiving a non-judicial punishment in the United States Military can be an incredibly stressful and confusing experience for any service member. Although the punishment does not actually constitute a criminal conviction, it can still have severe long-term implications on your career.

Working with an experienced attorney with a strong military law background can help you understand your rights and how best to defend you.
