Naval Law is a comprehensive work focusing on military justice, military criminal and administrative law, international law, and the law of armed conflict in the naval service. Although attorneys and law students may find the text a helpful primer on these topics, the book is primarily intended for use by midshipmen, undergraduates and others interested in military law and the law of war. Actual courts-martial and other legal cases, treaties, statutes, instructions, regulations, and historical events are presented and discussed throughout the book. Throughout the text, issues designed to promote both understanding and critical analysis of the material presented are posed to the reader. The study questions at the end of each chapter are intended to focus attention on fundamental aspects of naval law and to challenge the reader’s understanding of these concepts.
