The military judge and members of a general or special
court-martial may be challenged by the accused or the trial counsel
for cause stated to the court. The military judge or the court in
the absence of a military judge shall determine the relevancy and
validity of challenges for cause, and shall not receive a challenge
to more than one person at a time. Challenges by the trial counsel
shall ordinarily be presented and decided before those by the accused
are offered.
Each accused and the trial counsel is entitled to one peremptory
challenge, but the military judge shall not be challenged except for
cause. Section History: Early Form
