Designed for lawyers, law students, veterans, policymakers and other service professionals, this annual conference provides a forum for discussion of critical legal issues facing our veterans.

The conference will include a training for lawyers interested in representing veterans in claims for service-connected disability benefits, as well as training for non-attorney veterans interested in serving as mentors for the Baltimore City Veterans Treatment Docket.  Other sessions will include panels on how to get Veteran Readiness and Employment (VR&E) benefits, discharge appeals review, and Permanent & Total Disability (PTD).

Veterans Benefits 101 training is available for lawyers who agree to accept one pro bono case from a nonprofit legal services provider organization within 1 year. Staff of nonprofit legal services providers may attend without a commitment, but must register with their .org email address.
