Jones Day announced last Veteran’s Day that it was working with the American Bar Association (ABA) on a project to create a centralized platform to connect veterans to pro bono or low-cost attorneys. That project, VetLex, now has a website allowing attorneys and organizations to sign up to assist with veterans’ legal matters when the platform is complete.
The platform will be available on a pilot basis by this coming Veterans Day, and the ABA estimates that VetLex will be fully operational nationwide by 2018. When it’s fully operational, the site will serve as a space to connect attorneys and veterans’ services organizations to any veterans’ service-related and non-service-related legal matters.
