Veterans & Military

The purpose of the Orange County Bar Association’s Veterans and Military Committee (“VetCom”) is to empower the legal community to serve those who serve our nation through education, engagement, and action. VetCom’s objectives include education of OCBA members in order to increase the amount of pro bono veteran-related legal services, coordination of legal service providers and pro bono attorneys, collaboration with OCBA committees and stakeholders, helping with veteran homelessness, increasing interest and awareness regarding veterans issues amongst young lawyers and law students and maintenance of the OCBA’s veteran services webpage.
