The questions your team needs answered
Every court-martial defense intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Are you (or the person you’re helping) a current or former U.S. service member subject to the UCMJ? | Confirms UCMJ status first because non-service-members fall outside a military defense attorney's jurisdiction entirely. |
| Is this about a court-martial case (charges filed, an Article 32 hearing, or a court-martial scheduled or completed)? | Distinguishes an active court-martial matter from a general inquiry, which changes how urgently the case needs attorney attention. |
| Have you been notified of alleged misconduct or charges by your command, CID/NCIS/OSI, or a military prosecutor? | Captures whether command or investigators have already made contact, signaling the case has moved past a hypothetical concern. |
| Is the case in the United States or under U.S. military jurisdiction (including overseas bases)? | Confirms the case sits within U.S. military jurisdiction, including overseas bases, before the attorney invests time on a matter outside their authority. |
| Do you want legal help to defend against the charges or to reduce possible punishment (such as confinement, discharge, or loss of rank/pay)? | Separates leads seeking to fight the charges from those focused on minimizing punishment, which shapes the defense strategy discussed in a first call. |
| Is there an upcoming deadline, hearing, interrogation, or court date within the next 30 days? | A hearing, interrogation, or court date inside 30 days means the case needs a response before a standard intake queue would normally reach it. |
| Are you willing to speak with a private military defense attorney (even if you also have a military-appointed lawyer)? | Shows whether the person is open to retaining private counsel even with a JAG lawyer assigned, which affects whether a paid engagement is realistic. |

Common court-martial defense lead scenarios
Charges filed, hearing in 30 days
Charges have already been referred and an Article 32 hearing or trial date sits inside the next month, so the intake pairs the case-stage answer with the deadline flag to surface it immediately.
CID investigation, no charges yet
The service member has been notified of alleged misconduct by CID/NCIS/OSI but no court-martial has been convened, a different signal mix than an active case that still merits attention.
Overseas base jurisdiction question
The alleged conduct happened at an overseas installation, so the intake's jurisdiction question confirms UCMJ authority before the case is treated as in-scope.
Already assigned a JAG lawyer
The person has military-appointed defense counsel but is checking whether they're open to also retaining a private attorney, a distinct fit signal from someone with no counsel at all.
Family member, not a service member
Someone is inquiring on behalf of a relative who isn't subject to the UCMJ, which the intake's first question flags as a lower-fit lead rather than routing it as an active court-martial matter.

Court-Martial Defense lead-intake FAQs
Can the intake tell the difference between a pre-charge investigation and an active court-martial?
Yes. The catalog separates a CID/NCIS/OSI notification of alleged misconduct from the question of whether charges have actually been referred to a court-martial or an Article 32 hearing is scheduled, so you can see which stage a case is at before you respond.
Does the intake check jurisdiction for overseas cases?
Yes, one question confirms whether the case is in the United States or falls under U.S. military jurisdiction, including overseas bases, so leads outside your jurisdiction are visible before you book a call.
What happens if a lead already has a JAG-appointed defense lawyer?
The intake asks directly whether the person is willing to speak with a private military defense attorney even if they already have military-appointed counsel, so you can distinguish that lead from someone with no representation at all.
Will the intake flag leads with an imminent hearing or deadline?
Yes, one question asks whether there's a hearing, interrogation, or court date within the next 30 days, and that answer is weighted so time-sensitive cases stand out from ones with no near-term deadline.
What if the person isn't currently or formerly subject to the UCMJ?
The first question in the catalog confirms UCMJ status, and a 'no' answer carries a low weight, so those enquiries are still captured but scored lower than an active service member's case.
Does the intake capture what outcome the person actually wants?
Yes, one question asks whether they're seeking to defend against the charges or reduce potential punishment such as confinement, discharge, or loss of rank/pay, so you know their goal before the consultation.
