The Albany Law School Veterans' Pro Bono Project presents a discussion between Benjamin Pomerance and Judge Jaquith regarding the judge’s path from Army Judge Advocate General Corps to a federal judge on the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims and recent developments in the field of veterans’ law. 

Thank you to co-sponsor New York State Bar Association’s Committee on Veterans. 

Pomerance and Jaquith will discuss the judge’s background and experience in the military, veteran advocacy, and legal communities. The topic will then shift to new and developing rules in the realm of veterans’ law and the seminal cases behind the development of these rules.
