good".

April 27, 2012
9:00 AM to 5:00 PM

The Program provides training free of charge to attorneys who agree to
represent a veteran/VA claimant or family member before the Veterans
Court. As well as receiving the day-long training, attorneys who
participate are assigned a case that has been screened for merit and
provided a screening memo outlining the issues in the case. Volunteers
are also assigned a mentor (a practicing veterans’ law lawyer or
practitioner) to give advice and share sample pleadings. Attorneys also
receive the Veterans Benefits Manual (VBM) and other resource materials.
- Malpractice insurance is provided.
- CLE credits are available.
