The National Organization of Veterans' Advocates is holding their New Practitioner Session and Spring Conference in Seattle on April 22nd-24th.
The session on the 22nd, for New Practitioners, covers the basics and provides a strong foundation for those who are new to, and want to understand veterans law.
The next two days provide in depth knowledge of specific areas of veterans law, such as how to get disability benefits for veterans who have ischemic heart disease as a result of their service in Vietnam.
NOVA is the oldest and largest association of veterans law practitioners, having been in the business of training and mentoring lawyers in VA law since 1993.
