The Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals (NMCCA) conducts mandatory review -- unless waived by the appellant -- of all courts-martial of members of the naval service referred to the court pursuant to Articles 62, 66, 69, and 73, UCMJ, and, when necessary in furtherance of its jurisdiction, reviews all petitions for extraordinary relief properly filed before it.

PRINCIPAL FUNCTIONS
The court has the statutory authority to determine whether the findings of guilty and the sentence are correct in law and fact for all courts-martial reviewed under Article 66, UCMJ (about 96% of the Court's work), and to take corrective action if prejudicial error has occurred.

Such action includes setting aside or modifying the findings and/or the sentence, ordering a rehearing, and dismissing charges and specifications.  Unless reversed by a higher court, such action is binding on all parties, including all officials of the United States.  The court's published opinions are binding precedent for the conduct of courts-martial in the naval service.
