United States Supreme Court Decisions that Impact Veterans

This course is focused upon United States Supreme Court Decisions that impact veterans.  Although small in number compared to precedential decisions that directly affect Veterans from the United States Courts of Appeals for Veterans Claims [CAVC] and the Federal Circuit [CAFC], the seven Cases that are discussed in this presentation form part of the basic foundation of Veterans Law.

1. Recognize the circumstances under which the Supreme Court grants writs of certiorari in veterans law cases
2. Analyze the factors that lead the Supreme Court to issue precedential decisions in veterans law disputes
3. Examine the factual basis behind each major Supreme Court case impacting veterans law
