I'm not usually a grammar nazi - but it's Martial Law -- https://www.encyclopedia.com/social-sciences-and-law/law/law-divisions-and-codes/martial-law I keep seeing it spelled marshal - like it's a dude's name.

Marshal = legal protection of the courts (as in U.S. Marshal -- that's why they hunt fugitives)

Marshall = a name

Martial = relating to war

Martial Law = military takeover of civilian functions
