Articles of UCMJ
We can help you understand military law
Knowing and understanding the articles of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) is critical to anyone involved in military law. If you have been charged with a crime during your service, then it is important you familiarize yourself with the rules of the UCMJ that are applicable to your case.

- Article 31
- Article 80 Attempts
- Article 81 Conspiracy
- Article 85 Desertion
- Article 89 Disrespect Offenses
- Article 92 Failure to Obey an Order

You’ll be hard pressed to find anyone outside of a legal profession who is intimately familiar with all of their state and federal government’s laws. The same can be said for service members and the UCMJ. These laws are not something you can pick up, read once, and understand completely when you’re done. Thankfully, the criminal justice system is designed with this in mind. When you are charged with a crime, you are entitled to legal representation from either a military-appointed or civilian attorney.
Many of the military criminal defense attorneys at Daniel Conway & Associates are former service members themselves. We bring together over 100 years of combined experience, and we can help you review the UCMJ to better understand the charges against you and what you can do to defend yourself.
