The Praxis
Walter Jon Williams
Genres: Fiction
On recommendation of a duly appointed Court of Inquiry.
When the subordinate is found in arms against the lawful government.
When the officer possesses evidence that the subordinate is guilty of a capital crime.
Under any circumstances.
Sula touched her writing wand to the fourth and correct answer, then touched the icon that called for the next question. She knew that military law was so draconian, there was little room for error or laxity of interpretation.

There were relatively few captains who went around offhandedly whacking the heads off their subordinates, because in theory every citizen was the client of a patron Peer whose duty it was to supervise their welfare. While from experience Sula knew that many Peers couldn’t be bothered with such duties, it nevertheless remained a possibility that if a Peer felt that one of his clients had been treated unjustly, he could make inquiries and cause trouble, and the result could be a suit in civil law that might drag on for decades.MoreLess
