     192A.19 Advice of state judge advocate and reference for 
  trial.  

    Subdivision 1.  Before directing the trial of any charge by 
 general court-martial, the convening authority shall refer it to 
 the state judge advocate for consideration and advice.  A charge 
 may not be referred to a general court-martial for trial unless 
 the convening authority has found that the charge alleges an 
 offense under this code and is warranted by evidence indicated 
 in the report of the investigation.  

    Subd. 2.  If the charges or specifications are not formally 
 correct or do not conform to the substance of the evidence 
 contained in the report of the investigating officer, formal 
 corrections, and such changes in the charges and specifications 
 as are needed to make them conform to the evidence, may be made.
