Hello Ray. Let me add a few more comments about the edit. This phrase "deny the member's right to an attorney" is vague. Members can consult attorneys of defense counsel, but counsel won't represent the member at the hearing. "absolute right to an attorney" doesn't work either. Members have a right, but we cant say "absolute right". The "civilian lawyer with appropriate experience" doesn't work either. There is no way to determine what is "appropriate experience". And who would decide? In real military life servicemembers do not consult civilian attorneys. The cost, compared to the possible benefit, really makes consultation too expensive. Thanks. – S.
