Articles Tagged with trial judiciary

In the world of military justice it’s the small things that seem most encouraging at times.  So . . .  In my standard Article 32, UCMJ, production request (based on R.C.M. 405(f)(9)(10) primarily) or trial discovery demand one of the provisions is this:

3.  Declination to Produce or Disclose.

    a.  If any information responsive to this request is not produced because of a claim of privilege, identify each item that would fall within the request and/or information affected, the basis of the privilege, and the current location of each document or information (i.e. a Vaughn Index, see Vaughn v. Rosen, 157 U.S. App. D.C. 340; 484 F.2d 820 (DC Cir. 1973)).  Such material should be submitted, with notice to the defense, to the investigating officer or military judge for in camera review.  See e.g. United States v. Cadet, 727 F.2d 1453 (9th Cir. 1984).
