#Veterans Consortium Pro Bono Project

This Memorial Day, think about providing pro bono services to our veterans. The connection with "4freeCLE" is that you can get free training to prepare you to do so, and that training will (in most jurisdictions) earn you Continuing Legal Education credit. It's a fair exchange: your service for training, but mostly - it's the right thing to do!

From the #Veterans Consortium Pro Bono Project website:
IF: you are an attorney interested in our program, we will provide you with:
  • A day-long training class on veterans' law issues.
  • When you accept a case referred from the Program, we will provide you with the following services:
    • A comprehensive analysis of the appellant's case as a guideline for the appeal;
    • Extensive legal research materials, including a CD-ROM with an on-line research capability;
    • A mentoring attorney to assist you in formulating your litigation strategy;
    • A case monitor, to ensure that no deadlines are overlooked during the appeals process; and
    • We will take your phone calls and we wll answer your questions.
      If you are interested in volunteering you must attend a day-long training.
