Key points
Service members can now appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court if their case was denied by the Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces.
This change ensures service members have equal access to justice, similar to civilians in Guantanamo Bay cases.
The law takes effect 180 days after enactment, allowing time for court procedures to adapt.
