Veterans Day reminds us to thank those who served. At Cornell Law, our students do more than thank; they act. Through the Veterans Law Practicum, they provide free legal support to veterans in need year-round.
With a recent $250,000 loss in VA funding, your support is more critical than ever.
With your help, we can keep this lifeline open and ensure no veteran faces their legal battles alone.
Your gift today will:
• Fund more staff attorneys and summer fellows to extend our impact all year long
• Provide greater financial stability to pursue higher-impact litigation that protects veterans’ rights”

“Looking back at law school, the Clinic is the most meaningful thing I did personally and professionally. The Clinic takes on so many different things, from litigation to policy work to research, that it provides a really broad view of what you can do with a law degree and all the good you can do.”
Cornell First Amendment Clinic alum, Connor Flannery ’23, describes how Cornell’s First Amendment Clinic helped to shape his law career. He is pictured here alongside Heather Murray, Managing Attorney of the Cornell Local Journalism Project, Paula Knudsen Burke, Local Legal Initiative Attorney for the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, and Diane Siegel Danoff, a partner at Dechert LLP.
You can help more students to gain transformative legal experience by supporting the 1A clinic today. Throughout the month of November, our entire law school community is joining forces to support the Clinic’s vital work through a crowdfunding project.
To join our efforts, visit the link in our bio.
