Equal Justice for Our Military Act of 2015

The Equal Justice for Our Military Act of 2015 proposes a change to the federal judicial code to allow service members the right to petition the U.S. Supreme Court to review their cases. Currently, members of the military are restricted from seeking Supreme Court review if the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces refuses to hear their appeal, a limitation that does not apply to civilians in the federal court system. By granting the Supreme Court the authority to review these cases through a writ of certiorari, the bill aims to provide service members with the same legal recourse and access to the highest court in the land as civilian defendants.
