Except as provided in section 71 and before taking action in a general court-martial, the convening authority shall refer the record of each general court-martial to the state staff judge advocate who shall review the record and submit a written opinion on the record to the convening authority. The review must include a summary of the evidence in the case, an opinion as to the adequacy and weight of the evidence, the effect of any error or irregularity reflecting the proceedings, and a specific recommendation as to the action to be taken by the convening authority. If the final action of the court resulted in an acquittal of the charges and specifications, the opinion must be limited to questions of jurisdiction.
