Like in the case of a military court? In the US armed forces, the accused 
may have the option for "Non-judicial punishment" (i.e. a plea of guilty) or 
a court-martial where the case is heard by a panel of officers who have 
expertise in the subject matter. The panel then rules on the crime and the 
court-martial passes a sentence.
