Veterans Services Programs
Veterans Legal Services Clinics (VLSC)
Our nation's veterans answered the call to serve; now CMBA members are answering the call to serve veterans.
Through the Veterans Legal Services Clinics, volunteer attorneys, law students, and paralegals will provide pro bono or low-cost services for local veterans. A team of attorneys from CMBA's Leadership Academy Class of 2020 started this initiative in May 2020.
All volunteers will be provided with:
-
A crisis contacts list to encourage social/community support that may allow veterans to have a supported experience
-
One page information sheets created by Sections of the CMBA which provide basic legal information regarding common legal issues
-
Speaker series of CLEs which will prepare volunteers to work with veterans, addressing topics such as PTSD, trauma, veterans benefits, etc.
-
Training to complete the VA accreditation program
-
Professional liability insurance coverage for clinic-related service
