Which item is not part of GCM pretrial advice content?

• A. Whether each spec alleges an offense under the UCMJ
• B. Whether there is probable cause
• C. A list of witnesses to testify
• D. Whether there is jurisdiction over the ACC and the offense

Answer: (C)

General Court-Martial pretrial advice focuses on evaluating the charging document and the government's authority to proceed. It centers on whether each specification properly alleges an offense under the UCMJ, whether there is probable cause to sustain the charges, and whether the court-martial has jurisdiction over the accused and the offense. A list of witnesses to testify is not part of that pretrial advice content; witness lists belong to trial preparation and discovery rather than the pretrial advisory content. The other items—assessing proper offense allegations, probable cause, and jurisdiction—are the kinds of issues that must be addressed before moving forward with a trial, so they fit squarely inside pretrial advice.
