The Chapman AMVETS Legal Clinic was featured in the Centre Daily Times in an article entitled, “AMVETS’ Pro Bono Legal Clinic Fills Veteran Need.”  The article discussed the recent $500,000 grant by AMVETS for pro bono legal aid for veterans helped by AMVETS Legal Clinic.  The article highlighted the involvement of Chapman Law students. “Our law students benefit from getting to work on real cases that can change veterans’ lives for the better,” said Professor Kyndra Rotunda, a former Army JAG officer and current Executive Director of the AMVETS Legal Clinic at Chapman. “We are handling a wide range of legal issues, including auto accident cases, VA claims, lease disputes, disability claims, breach of contract actions, and other legal issues stemming from multiple deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. Many of these matters would otherwise go unlitigated because service members often can’t afford private lawyers and JAG Officers are barred from representing soldiers in private civil legal claims. There’s a big hole in the net that the AMVETS Legal Clinic is filling.” Read the AMVETS article. http://www.centredaily.com/2011/03/30/2614693/amvets-pro-bono-legal-clinic-fills.html
