Conference: Access to Justice for Veterans

The Pepperdine University School of Law is hosting a conference titled Access to Justice for Veterans: Coordinated Responses of a Grateful Nation on November 3-4, 2016.

The conference will address coordinated community responses for veterans’ legal needs and complex intersecting issues. Speakers and conferees will discuss public and private responses in policy and practice, culture and law.  The School of Law invites lawyers, academics, and professionals to participate with speakers representing diverse disciplines and institutions.  Our nation faces a critical moment of reckoning and response to a crisis in veterans’ housing, health, and well-being.  Pepperdine hopes that this conference can advance our communities toward restoration and honor for these public servants.  

Organizers are also accepting panel proposals until October 3.  Submit your proposals to jeff.baker@pepperdine.edu.
