Duty Bound connects law students with attorneys who provide free legal assistance on behalf of VETERANS and their qualifying family members who have an appeal pending at the Court of Appeals for VETERANS Claims. This web portal has been created to allow case-handling pro- bono attorneys to select available law students to assist with client interviewing, case management, research and writing, and advocacy tasks. Duty Bound will also enable law students and pro bono attorneys to find RESOURCES supporting their work, and connect with other pro bono attorneys representing military personnel.
