The U.S. military is at the center of some of the most important social justice issues of our time: sexual assault, racism, and discrimination against LGBTQ individuals. In the Veterans Law Practicum and Seminar (VLP), students will learn about the impact of these and other issues on affected service members and veterans, as well as about legal remedies. More information about VLP is available here: https://www.law.berkeley.edu/experiential/veterans-law-practicum/.

Enrollment in the Fall 2023 Advanced Veterans Law Practicum is limited to students who have previously participated in the Veterans Law Seminar and Practicum. The Advanced Practicum is devoted to project work and students may enroll for either 1 or 2 units (in proportion to time spent on project work).
