What Legal Issues Have Your Clients--Or You and Fellow Troops--Encountered as Soldiers or Veterans?
The American Bar Association recently launched ABA Home Front, a website created to provide military service members and their families with information on a variety of legal issues. (ABA President Stephen Zack also talks about the ABA’s three-year-old Military Pro Bono Project in his June column.) A number of readers commented on the ABAJournal.com post announcing the site—many mentioning their own experiences with clients and saying in what practice areas they see a particular need for help.
So, as Memorial Day approaches, we’d like to ask you to enlighten our readers: What legal issues have your clients—or you and your fellow troops, if you are or were in the military—encountered as soldiers or veterans?
