Veterans shake hands
The UB School of Law is providing assistance to veterans through its new Veterans Sdvocacy Clinic

Hugh McClean, director of the new Bob Parsons Veterans Advocacy Clinic in the University of Baltimore School of Law, tells The Daily Record that there is a "tremendous need" for services for veterans now, especially in the area of legal counsel and support.

 

UB is among a growing number of law schools that are joining with advocacy groups, community organizations and the Veterans Administration to assist veterans in need of services.

 

"I think the sheer number of claims, and the resources that are available to process them, necessitate more lawyering in this area," McClean tells the newspaper. "There's just a tremendous need for veterans' assistance right now.”
