Description

The Veterans Consortium: Legal Services for Veterans

The Veterans Consortium Pro Bono Program has offered free legal representation to Veterans, their families, and survivors at the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims (CAVC) since 1992. In 2017, they began a Discharge Upgrade Program, which offers legal representation for Veterans who received an other than honorable discharge. The Women Veterans Legal Assistance Program began in 2020, as did their Veterans Naturalization Assistance Program. The organization's Deputy Director of Volunteer Outreach & Education, Colleen Miller, will be providing an overview of all these programs.
