Court-martial is a military court that tries people who belong to a country's armed forces and are accused of committing certain crimes. In the United States, these crimes are set forth in the Uniform Code of Military Justice. The crimes range from murder, robbery, and drug abuse to offenses specific to the military, such as absence without leave or disrespect to a superior officer. The code provides for three types of courts-martial: (1) general, (2) special, and (3) summary.
