<dc:description>These General Orders prescribe rules for the procedure to be followed, and the rules of evidence in naval courts-martial. The rules of procedure are in general accord with procedures in the criminal courts in England. Special provision is made for trials in which navigation is an issue. These Orders replace and revoke Orders made in 1957 and take account of changes in the law and procedure since then. Such changes include the removal of the right for the accused to make an unsworn statement from his or her place, ensuring that prospective members of the court-martial do not know the nature of the charges in advance of the trial and introduction of revised rules for adducing expert evidence.</dc:description>
