veterans law litigation, legislative advocacy, and legal reform. The BPVAC handles

of Appeals for Veterans Claims appeals, discharge upgrade petitions, and veterans
treatment court cases. The Fellow's duties include direct supervision of case work
by clinic students, clinic classroom teaching in coordination with clinic faculty,
and development of academic writing. During winter and summer breaks in the academic
calendar, when students are not enrolled in the BPVAC, the Fellow also covers client
matters, including matters for other clinics that are within the Fellow’s expertise;
handles additional BPVAC and clinical program duties as assigned; and develops their
academic writing. Because the BPVAC serves evening and day students, the Fellow will
teach at least one evening each week during the fall and spring semesters, with daytime
hours adjusted accordingly.
