Lenth of courts-martial
Can anyone please provide me with a short list showing long-running US courts-martial, the time length for proceedings, the case name and branch of service? or tell me where i can find such information

Re: Length of courts-martial
Your question is not framed in a manner that can be intelligently answered unfortunately. Do you mean to ask about:
1) The length of the actual "trial" itself? Or,
2) The length of time that begins from the time of the incident [alleged crime] to the time a verdict [and perhaps sentence] was reached?
3) Are you including cases that get appealed and sent back for re-trials, etc.
There are many ways to look at this, and if you would explain WHY you are interested in this topic, it may help those of us who defend folks at courts-martial to help answer your question.
Sincerely,
Don Rehkopf
