WSBA Call to Duty Program - Washington State

The WSBA Call to Duty Pledge asks you to commit in serving Washington veterans in 2014. As part of the pledge we will support you by providing resources both legal and non-legal to serve veterans, education and CLEs, and the chance to answer the various calls to duty in serving veterans.
By taking this pledge, you commit to serve veterans this year in one or more of the following ways:

• Use my legal skills to advise a nonprofit organization that serves veterans
• Mentor those who take pro bono cases that served a veteran
• Teach at a CLE on veterans legal issues
• Volunteer for one of the Call to Duty’s Days of Service or with the WA Vets Will Clinic
• Take a low-fee veteran's case through the WSBA Moderate Means Program
• Take a pro bono case from an organization who serves veterans
• Become certified to take a VA benefits case.

Pledges are automatically added to our “Call to Duty Pledge” list serve. This list serve provides the following announcements and opportunities:

• Monthly “Lunch and Learn” sessions – these webinars will highlight legal and non-legal resource helpful to serving veterans and their families 
• Volunteer openings across the state
• Access to free CLEs on issues veterans face
• Pro bono case placement
