Courts designed to try members of the military are called what?

• A. Courts-martial.
• B. Civilian tribunals
• C. Dockets
• D. Court of Appeals

Answer: (A)

Courts-martial are the military courts used to try service members for offenses under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. They operate within the military justice system and may involve a military judge and, in some cases, a panel of service members. This is different from civilian tribunals, which handle civilian law; dockets, which are schedules of cases; and Court of Appeals, which review lower court decisions rather than conduct trials.
