Advice of state judge advocate and reference for trial

Known as the Colorado Code

The act spans §§ 28-3.1-101 to 28-3.1-607 (131 sections).

(1) Before directing the trial of any charge by general court-martial, the convening authority shall refer it to the state judge advocate general for consideration and advice. The convening authority may not refer a charge to a general court-martial for trial unless he or she has found that the charge alleges an offense under this code and is warranted by evidence indicated in the report of the investigation. (2) If the charges or specifications are not formally correct or do not conform to the substance of the evidence contained in the report of the investigating officer, formal corrections and changes in the charges and specifications needed to make them conform to the evidence may be made.
