The questions your team needs answered
Every article 15 non-judicial punishment intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Are you currently serving in the U.S. military (active duty, Reserve, or National Guard)? | Article 15 authority under the UCMJ only applies to active duty, Reserve, or Guard members, so this answer filters out enquiries outside the attorney's actual jurisdiction. |
| Have you been given, offered, or told you may receive an Article 15 (non-judicial punishment)? | Confirms an Article 15 has actually been raised rather than the person just researching what NJP is, which separates real matters from general questions. |
| Is your Article 15 situation happening now or within the last 12 months? | A situation happening now or in the last 12 months signals an active or recent matter rather than something already resolved or too old to act on. |
| Have you been asked to sign paperwork, accept the Article 15, or choose whether to demand a court-martial? | Being asked to sign or elect a court-martial means a binding decision is imminent, which is exactly the moment a defense attorney's input matters most. |
| Could the Article 15 lead to serious consequences for you (like loss of rank, pay, extra duty, restriction, or separation)? | Consequences like rank, pay, or separation losses indicate real stakes worth the attorney's time versus a minor, low-impact NJP. |
| Do you want to talk with a military defense lawyer about your options before your deadline? | Wanting to talk to counsel before a deadline shows intent to retain, not just informational curiosity. |

Built for article 15 non-judicial punishment workflows
| Cliont capability | Article 15 Non-Judicial Punishment application |
|---|---|
| Conditional branching | If someone answers 'no' to having been given or told about an Article 15, the intake can stop pursuing NJP-specific detail rather than walking a non-case through the full sequence. |
| Weighted scoring | The six-question set weights active-duty status, whether NJP was actually offered, and consequence severity heavily, so a service member mid-election with career-threatening stakes automatically outranks a lower-stakes or after-the-fact enquiry. |
| Document capture before booking | The intake can request the Article 15 charge document or command paperwork before a consultation is confirmed, so you review the actual allegation and timeline instead of a self-reported summary. |
| Deadline-aware routing | Because signing paperwork or choosing whether to demand a court-martial is a high-weight question, the intake can flag active election deadlines for faster follow-up than closed or historical cases. |
Common article 15 non-judicial punishment lead scenarios
Active-duty member facing imminent NJP
Currently serving, already told they may receive an Article 15 within the last 12 months, and asked to sign election paperwork soon. This combination scores highest and should be routed straight to consultation booking.
Not sure they're actually facing NJP
Someone browsing military law info who hasn't been given or told about an Article 15 yet answers that question 'no,' which drops the score and flags the enquiry as premature for a paid consultation.
Civilian or veteran outside jurisdiction
Answers 'no' to currently serving in active duty, Reserve, or National Guard, which lowers the score sharply since Article 15 authority only applies to service members under the UCMJ.
Already accepted NJP without counsel
The Article 15 happened more than 12 months ago and paperwork has already been signed, so urgency is lower even though the underlying matter is real — useful for triaging appeals-track questions instead of active NJP defense.
Career-ending consequences on the table
Service member flags that the Article 15 could mean loss of rank, pay, or separation, and wants to talk to a defense lawyer before the deadline — this signals high stakes and time pressure together.

Article 15 Non-Judicial Punishment lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake tell a real Article 15 case apart from a general military law question?
The first two questions confirm the person is currently serving and has actually been given, offered, or told they may receive an Article 15 — answering 'no' to either lowers the score so you're not booking a consultation for someone still researching the process.
What if someone submits the form before they've received formal NJP notice?
If they haven't been told they may receive an Article 15 yet, that answer carries a low weight, which keeps the lead from scoring as high priority until the situation is confirmed.
How does the intake surface deadline pressure around the court-martial election?
The questions asking whether they've been asked to sign paperwork or choose whether to demand a court-martial, and whether they want to talk to a lawyer before their deadline, are weighted heavily so time-sensitive leads rise to the top of your queue.
Can the intake distinguish minor Article 15s from ones with serious career consequences?
Yes — the question on whether the Article 15 could mean loss of rank, pay, extra duty, restriction, or separation is a high-weight signal, so cases with real career impact score noticeably higher than lower-stakes ones.
What happens if the person isn't currently in the military?
Answering 'no' to currently serving in active duty, Reserve, or National Guard carries the lowest weight in the catalog, since Article 15 authority doesn't apply outside that status, and the lead scores accordingly.
Does the intake cover leads who already accepted the Article 15 without talking to a lawyer?
It can — if the situation happened more than 12 months ago and paperwork is already signed, the lead still comes through but scores lower on urgency, which helps you route it differently than an active, time-sensitive election decision.
