Penn State Law has launched a new legal clinic designed to provide hands-on practice experience for law students as they represent veterans and current servicemembers in the unique legal issues they encounter.

The Penn State Law Veterans and Servicemembers Legal Clinic is designed to fill a critical gap that exists between the demand for specialized legal assistance and the limited supply of such services in Pennsylvania and across the nation. Under the direction of Penn State Law clinical professorMichael Foreman, clinic students will earn academic credit while providing assistance in all aspects of the legal process.

ā€œThere is a huge disconnect between the legal needs of our veterans and servicemembers and the availability of attorneys who provide this kind of specialized service,ā€ said James W. Houck, interim dean of Penn State Law and retired U.S. Navy vice admiral and judge advocate general.

ā€œIn Pennsylvania alone, there are nearly 1 million veterans and about 19,000 members of the National Guard. Given hire vetsthis need, and Penn Stateā€™s continued commitment to veterans, servicemembers, and their families, there is really no better venue for a legal clinic devoted to serving veterans and the men and women of our armed forces.ā€
