Message From the Chair

Welcome to the Veterans and Military Law Section (VMLS). Our section is a small but mighty one that has advocated successfully, with the help of other veterans-based organizations, to advocate for legal and policy changes that will better serve our military and veterans alike. We provide continuing legal education (CLE) opportunities that focus on various veteran-related subjects, such as military justice and veterans’ benefits issues. We work to provide sponsorships to organizations, such as FBA sections, divisions, and chapters, to promote awareness of veterans issues.

An important facet of our mission, particularly in light of the challenging times that we all currently face, is to take every opportunity to connect with the military and veteran legal community in meaningful ways. We aim to help coordinate, host, and join numerous CLE and webinar opportunities that will allow current and interested members to get to know one another, to learn from one another, and to form connections within our community.

Our officers, Board members, and members at large possess a great deal of expertise in veterans and military justice matters. Inherent in our membership—in addition to our unique specialties and experience—is a shared commitment to educating and advocating for others. If you are an FBA leader who wishes to join forces with us on CLE or other events, we would love to hear from you. If you are interested in learning more about or joining our section, we would love to have the opportunity to work with you.
