The new Veterans Legal Services Clinic at the University of Georgia law school has opened for business—aiming to provide work experience for students and offer aid to those who have served in the military, according to the faculty member leading the program.

“In the near term, this means a full caseload for students starting this fall,” clinic director Alex Scherr said in a UGA law school Facebook post Thursday announcing the clinic’s opening. “In the long term, the clinic will be successful when, through individual representation and community outreach, it improves how veterans receive assistance from the nation they have served.”
