Veterans Law Practicum II

Catalog description

In the Veterans Law Practicum II, students will continue advocating for veterans to obtain service-connected disability compensation, discharge upgrades, and other related claims. Students may also perform research and draft memoranda on policy issues affecting veterans benefits programs. The classroom component of the course will mostly consist of case rounds, in which students discuss their current cases with fellow students and with the instructor. Advanced students will be expected to take on leadership roles within the Practicum and assist newer students with understanding the substantive and procedural issues involved in veterans advocacy.
