military prosecutor
Uniformed trial lawyer
A military prosecutor is a legal officer within the armed forces who brings criminal charges against service members accused of violating military law.
Like civilian prosecutors, they present evidence and argue cases before military tribunals or courts-martial, but they operate under the Uniform Code of Military Justice rather than civilian criminal codes.
The military prosecutor argued for a dishonorable discharge.
Military prosecutors are typically judge advocates—attorneys who hold both law degrees and military commissions.
