The California Veterans Legal Task Force is a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting California counties in establishing and maintaining veterans treatment courts and providing legal assistance clinics. Their mission is to support veterans with diagnosed psychological conditions resulting from their military service by offering treatment programs and deferring jail sentences for qualifying veterans convicted of a crime.
Working in collaboration with the Department of Veterans Affairs San Diego Healthcare System, local law students, and paralegals, the Veterans Legal Assistance and Referral Clinic (VLARC) aims to address the unmet legal needs of veterans receiving mental health treatment. By providing legal assistance and referrals, VLARC allows veterans to focus on their treatment and aftercare without the added stress of legal issues, while also providing valuable practice-oriented legal education opportunities for law students.
