Marine LtCol Thomas Jasper - MARINE CORPS LEGAL SERVICES MILITARY JUSTICE REPORT FISCAL YEAR 2012

"The Marine Corps consistently maintains a special and general court-martial docket of 
approximately 600 cases. As demonstrated above, a large percentage will be disposed of at 
alternative forums such as administrative separation boards, summary courts-martial, or 
nonjudicial punishment (NJP). These alternative dispositions still require judge advocate 
support, as suggested by the 768 administrative separation boards and 58 Boards of Inquiry 
conducted by the Marine Corps in FY 12 (an increase of over 50% from FY 11). Each board 
requires a defense counsel to represent the respondent and, typically, a trial counsel to serve as recorder. 
In Boards of Inquiry, an Article 27(b) certified attorney must serve as the trial counsel. 
NJP counseling, Article 138, UCMJ complaints, and Request Mast petitions by Marines and 
Sailors also contribute to the workload of the average defense counsel. In FY 12, Marine 
defense counsel provided advice to over 10,000 military servicemembers during walk-in 
counseling sessions, in addition to the advice they provided to defense clients to whom they had 
been detailed."
