The Veterans Consortium Pro Bono Program (The Veterans Consortium), is a non-profit organization created to provide every qualifying veteran and family member legal representation before the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims at no charge. The Veterans Consortium recruits volunteer attorneys to represent appellants before the Court without charge; screens cases so that pro bono representation is provided in cases with merit; and offers comprehensive training in the field of veterans law, mentoring, and support to 300 volunteer attorneys across the United States. Since its inception, The Veterans Consortium has assisted over 10,000 veterans or their qualified family members and has trained nearly 3,000 volunteer attorneys. The Veterans Consortium is an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit enterprise. It was founded in 1992 by The American Legion, Disabled American Veterans, National Veterans Legal Services Program, and Paralyzed Veterans of America, in response to a request by the Court and from a Congressionally-created program administered by the Legal Services Corporation.
