Frontline Justice allows an incursion in a closely tight legal universe rarely accessible to outsiders, shedding light on some of its flaws in the hope of striking a balance between military efficiency and the protection of rights. In that sense, the book addresses a common dilemma in administrative law and, to some extent, in criminal law - a dilemma that goes beyond the confines of military law. Marie-Eve Sylvestre, University of Ottawa

In Frontline Justice, Levesque has made a substantial contribution to our understanding that summary trials form a critical part of Canadian military justice and carry important implications for a range of constitutional issues. It is essential reading for politicians, policymakers, and stakeholders [and] highly relevant to Canadian military-legal scholars and serving personnel whose lives and careers are impacted by these legislative and constitutional debates and decisions. It is an important book for any interested in the ongoing need to balance the application of the rule of law and punitive justice with the essential rights guaranteed to all accused citizens.
