About This Course

This CLE course explores a dynamic and increasingly significant area of law. With the Supreme Court's growing involvement in veterans law, there is heightened attention on ensuring constitutional consistency and adherence to Congressional intent in this specialized field.

Landmark decisions, such as those potentially influenced by the case of Loper-Bright, highlight the evolving balance between judicial oversight and administrative authority in veterans' legal matters. This shift signals a move toward greater fairness, legislative alignment, and reduced administrative overreach.

Join Commander John B. Wells, USN (Ret.), a seasoned veteran law practitioner, as he offers valuable insights into these legal developments and their implications for advocacy and policy reform.
