We welcome all UCLA Law students, faculty, and staff who are:

  • Veterans of the U.S. armed forces (active or reserve)
  • Currently serving members of the U.S. armed forces
  • Especially interested in veteran affairs

Feel free to contact us if you are interested in joining VLS, a veteran interested in UCLA Law, or would like to coordinate a veterans related event with the UCLA Law community.

If you are a veteran in crisis or are concerned about a veteran who may be in crisis, please immediately call the Veterans Crisis Hotline: 1-800-273-8255 and Press 1, or text 838255.

Also make sure to utilize the many mental health resources the VA offers: Get Help - Mental Health (va.gov). Please check MyLaw for further information and events related to VLS.
