Excerpt from A Treatise on the Military Law of the United States: Together With the Practice and Procedure of Courts-Martial and Other Military Tribunals The history of the constitutional military establishment of England, the country from which oar own institutions are in great part derived, has hardly received the attention to which, by its interest and importance, it is fairly entitled. The gradual development of the common law and the study of that great body of maxims and fundamental principles which we call the English Constitution have been made the subject of minute and painstaking inquiry; the corresponding development of the military institutions of the kingdom, however, have been less carefully studied, and this notwithstanding the fact that the long controversy between the sovereign and Parliament, extending over more than three quarters of a century, which culminated in the Great Revolution of 1688, had to do not only with the discussion and settlement of disputed questions connected with the maintenance of the military establishment and the discipline of the military forces, but involved as well the relation of the military to the civil power, and the place of the former in the constitutional law of the kingdom. It may be safely asserted that for the two centuries immediately succeeding the Norman Conquest the place assigned to military law was in no sense inferior to that occupied by the common law. Indeed it was not until the feudal system had begun to decline in England that the latter began to predominate, and gradually to absorb the civil jurisdiction formerly exercised by the courts of the constable and marshal; and this absorption of jurisdiction was due lees, perhaps, to the superior excellence of the common law than to the fact that the kingdom was at peace with the continental states, and that there were but few occasions for the employment of military forces on foreign service or in foreign wars. The Hundred Years' War for dominion in France, in so far as it affected the interests of the English people, was a foreign war, carried on upon foreign territory, and as such gave rise to no conflict of jurisdiction between the civil and military tribunals, but rather afforded to each form of jurisprudence an opportunity for normal and appropriate development. This was especially true of military law. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Major General Enoch Crowder served as the Judge Advocate General of the United States Army from 1911 to 1923. In 1915, Crowder convinced Congress to increase the size of the Judge Advocate General's Office—the legal arm of the United States Army—from thirteen uniformed attorneys to more than four hundred. Crowder's recruitment of some of the nation's leading legal scholars, as well as former congressmen and state supreme court judges, helped legitimize President Woodrow Wilson's wartime military and legal policies. As the United States entered World War I in 1917, the army numbered about 120,000 soldiers. The Judge Advocate General's Office was instrumental in extending the military's reach into the everyday lives of citizens to enable the construction of an army of more than four million soldiers by the end of the war. Under Crowder's leadership, the office was responsible for the creation and administration of the Selective Service Act, under which thousands of men were drafted into military service, as well as enforcement of the Espionage Act and wartime prohibition. In this first published history of the Judge Advocate General's Office between the years of 1914 and 1922, Joshua Kastenberg examines not only courts-martial, but also the development of the laws of war and the changing nature of civil-military relations. The Judge Advocate General's Office influenced the legislative and judicial branches of the government to permit unparalleled assertions of power, such as control over local policing functions and the economy. Judge advocates also altered the nature of laws to recognize a person's diminished mental health as a defense in criminal trials, influenced the assertion of US law overseas, and affected the evolving nature of the law of war. This groundbreaking study will appeal to scholars, students, and general readers of US history, as well as military, legal, and political historians.
