Gonzalez & Waddington’s YouTube channel, @courtmartiallawyers, has hundreds of free videos on military law and more than 30,000 subscribers. Civilian military defense lawyers Michael Waddington and Alexandra González-Waddington explain how the military justice system really works: what to do when CID, NCIS, OSI, or CGIS wants to question you, how Article 120 sexual assault cases are investigated and tried, what happens at each stage of a court-martial, and how to fight administrative separation boards, Boards of Inquiry, GOMORs, and Article 15s. The channel also has guides for major installations worldwide and trial-skills videos on cross-examination and closing arguments for lawyers.
