Part 7 - (130.36 - 130.54) TRIAL PROCEDURE
130.37 - Unlawfully influencing action of court.

 130.37. Unlawfully  influencing  action of court.   (a) No authority
  convening a general, special, or summary court-martial,  nor  any  other
  commanding  officer, shall censure, reprimand, or admonish such court or
  any member, military judge, or counsel  thereof,  with  respect  to  the
  findings or sentence adjudged by the court, or with respect to any other
  exercise  of  its  or his functions in the conduct of the proceeding. No
  person subject  to  this  code  shall  attempt  to  coerce  or,  by  any
  unauthorized means, influence the action of a court-martial or any other
  military  tribunal  or  any  member thereof, in reaching the findings or
  sentence in any case, or the action  of  any  convening,  approving,  or
  reviewing  authority  with  respect  to his judicial acts. The foregoing
  provisions of the subdivision  shall  not  apply  with  respect  to  (1)
  general  instructional  or  informational courses in military justice if
  such courses are designed solely for the purpose of instructing  members
  of   a   command   in   the   substantive   and  procedural  aspects  of
  courts-martial, or (2) to statements  and  instructions  given  in  open
  court  by  the  military judge, president of a special court-martial, or
  counsel.
(b) In the preparation of an  effectiveness,  fitness,  or  efficiency
  report  or any other report or document used in whole or in part for the
  purpose of determining whether a member is qualified to be advanced,  in
  grade,  or  in  determining the assignment or transfer of a member or in
  determining whether a member should be retained on any type of  duty  or
  status,  no  person  subject  to this chapter may, in preparing any such
  report (1) consider or evaluate the performance  of  duty  of  any  such
  member  as  a  member  of  a court-martial, or (2) give a less favorable
  rating or evaluation of any member because of the zeal with  which  such
  member, as counsel, represented any accused before a court-martial.
