Abstract

The author explores the history of various jurisdictional and administrative issues that arise under consideration of a service member’s enlistment contract. He proposes a change to the Uniform Code of Military Justice to codify the constructive enlistment doctrine for establishing personal court-martial jurisdiction over service members whose enlistment contracts and entry onto active duty were facilitated by recruiter misconduct. The proposal later became part of amendment to Art. 2, U.C.M.J..
