We are taking you behind the scenes to discuss the day-to-day life of a Veterans Law Judge (VLJ), a position a partner at our firm once held. You will learn about the selection process, the role of a VLJ in the larger VA system, and how to successfully advocate for a client at the Board of Veterans Appeals (BVA). We'll cover the structure of the Department of Veterans Affairs and how the BVA fits into that structure, its mission, and its jurisdiction, and more.
