The purpose of this book is to offer assistance not only to military lawyers and judges who use the Military Rules of Evidence in courts-martial, but also to civilian lawyers interested in criminal justice, litigation and evidence.

In this Ninth Edition, the authors have continued the process of collecting and analyzing all of the important new developments concerning the Military Rules of Evidence that have occurred since the publication of the Seventh Edition.

The format used here is generally the same format originally used when we produced the first edition.

Each Rule receives separate treatment in a four-part format: the official text of each Rule; the authors' editorial comment; the Drafters’ Analysis; and annotated cases.

eBooks, CDs, downloadable content, and software purchases are noncancelable, nonrefundable and nonreturnable. Click here for more information about LexisNexis eBooks.
