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 review the PACT Act, Camp Lejune claims, and presumptive claims.

Lawyers attending the Veterans Benefits 101 training must agree to accept one pro bono case from Homeless Persons Representation Project in Maryland within 1 year. Staff of nonprofit legal services providers may attend without a commitment, but must register with their .org email address. A recording of the training will be provided to attendees of the training by early-July.
