State military justice

The National Institute of Military Justice has created a web page with links to state and territorial codes of military justice. This is a frequently-overlooked aspect of American military justice. Perhaps the easy availability of the source materials will prompt additional legislative and academy consideration.

Suggestion for a worthwhile follow-on project: collect all decisions concerning state courts-martial and nonjudicial punishment. Some states have their own courts of military appeals; others rely on the usual civilian courts for appellate review.

H/T to CAAFlog for posting about the new NIMJ page.
