Legal and Medical Issues Facing Our Nation's Veterans
November 7 and 8, 2008
Veterans are returning from Iraq and Afghanistan with serious physical and mental disabilities. In many cases, it may take years for the full extent of the injuries to become manifest.
A Pentagon study of more than 300,000 servicemen showed that combat veterans were twice as likely as the general population to commit suicide.
Another study found that one-third of the soldiers and Marines who have seen high levels of combat in Iraq report depression, generalized anxiety, or posttraumatic stress.
Modern medicine is able to keep more battlefield casualties alive, but survivors often come back without limbs or with debilitating impairment to their senses.
The John Marshall Law School Veterans Legal Support Center is proud to present a two-day program featuring experts from the medical, military, and legal professions, who will discuss the legal and medical issues that our wounded warriors face upon their return home.
Among the goals of this conference are educating the legal and medical professions by developing efficiencies and improving the quality of the services given to our nation's veterans, and developing best practices and enhancing coordination between the legal and medical professions.
