CR 315 Military, Law, and Society
The first part of the course will cover the history of military law: the roots of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) in the medieval code of chivalry and its relationship to Constitutional principles. Study of specific cases will be used to enhance understanding of the way military law has been applied, with special attention to class distinctions, family law, and war crimes. Similarities and significant differences between the UCMJ and related civilian law statutes will be analyzed, where applicable.
