Under the new state budget that took effect July 1, Stetson University College of Law will receive robust state support for its Veterans Law Institute and Veterans Advocacy Clinic.

The clinic, which is part of Stetson’s Veterans Law Institute, provides free legal services to veterans and their family members who are appealing decisions about their disability benefits. It also gives students an opportunity to gain legal experience while helping U.S. military veterans.

The 2024-2025 state budget, recently signed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, provides $438,000 in funding that will help ensure the Veterans Law Institute and Veterans Advocacy Clinic can continue to carry out its important work.
