NYSBA's Special Committee on Veterans' Affairs
The Special Committee on Veterans’ Affairs is established for the purpose of identifying the specific needs for quality legal services available to New York’s military community and creating a framework within which those needs can be successfully met.  The ultimate goal of the Special Committee is to improve the quality of legal services available to the community of veterans, which the Committee defines as past and present military members both active and reserve, and the families that support them.  The Special Committee will focus on three key areas of need and has created a subcommittee to address each area: Veterans’ Courts; Legal Services; and Legal Education.
