Abstract
Recent years have seen many improvements in national military justice systems. One that has been successfully embraced by the United Kingdom -- reliance on civilian judges to preside at military courts -- has not been properly explored elsewhere (notably in the United States) but deserves to be. The authors suggest that this fundamental reform can be achieved without detriment to good order and discipline and with the positive benefit of improved judicial independence and stronger public confidence in the administration of justice.
