UCI School of Law Stands Up for Veterans

After two years of intense lobbying and research, the student members of the Veterans Advocacy Society (VAS) at UCI School of Law were able to persuade the administration to fund a clinic specifically tailored to providing direct pro bono legal services for low-income veterans. They aimed to create a clinic that would provide desperately needed legal services to veterans and would enhance community understanding of veterans' issues. In August of 2015, the inaugural clinic started its journey serving local veterans.
