A recent initiative by High Point University’s Kenneth F. Kahn School of Law is garnering attention for its dual focus on experiential learning and community service. The institution is launching a pro bono law clinic aimed at assisting veterans in obtaining military benefits, which they are often wrongfully denied. The clinic’s mission is closely intertwined with the educational goals of the law school, offering hands-on experience for students while providing valuable legal services to veterans.
This endeavor has been made possible by a donation from Bergmann & Moore, LLC, a Rockville, Maryland-based boutique firm that specializes in veterans’ benefits. The firm’s commitment to aiding veterans aligns seamlessly with the new clinic’s objectives, creating a robust support system for veterans and an unparalleled educational opportunity for law students.

The law clinic will serve as a cornerstone of the educational experience at High Point’s law school, set to welcome its first batch of students this fall. The blend of academic learning and real-world application is expected to prepare students for the complexities and nuances of legal practice while fulfilling an altruistic purpose. The emphasis on pro bono work, particularly for a segment as deserving as military veterans, underscores the law school’s commitment to social responsibility.
