Veterans Affairs Law is the first and only doctrinal text in the field of veterans affairs. This text employs the case method to explore the primary benefits available to military veterans and their families, the procedures by which claims for benefits are adjudicated, and the availability of representation to those seeking benefits. Targeted towards law students and practitioners alike, Veterans Affairs Law encourages and challenges readers to focus on the policy rationales that have driven the evolution of veterans affairs law in the United States, to consider how those rationales impact the outcomes of borderline cases, and to identify situations in which legal change may be required.
This volume of Federal Veterans Laws, Rules and Regulations (FLVRR) first published in 1999. It is designed to make it economically possible for all advocates to have the latest version of statutes and regulations that govern the adjudication of claims for VA benefits.
"The United States Code is the official codification of the general and permanent laws of the United States of America. The Code was first published in 1926, and a new edition of the code has been published every six years since 1934. The 2012 edition of the Code incorporates laws enacted through the One Hundred Twelfth Congress, Second Session, the last of which was signed by the President on January 15, 2013. It does not include laws of the One Hundred Thirteenth Congress, First Session, enacted between January 2, 2013, the date it convened, and January 15, 2013. By statutory authority this edition may be cited "U.S.C. 2012 ed." As adopted in 1926, the Code established prima facie the general and permanent laws of the United States. The underlying statutes reprinted in the Code remained in effect and controlled over the Code in case of any discrepancy. In 1947, Congress began enacting individual titles of the Code into positive law. When a title is enacted into positive law, the underlying statutes are repealed and the title then becomes legal evidence of the law. Currently, 26 of the 51 titles in the Code have been so enacted. These are identified in the table of titles near the beginning of each volume. The Law Revision Counsel of the House of Representatives continues to prepare legislation pursuant to 2 U.S.C. 285b to enact the remainder of the Code, on a title-by-title basis, into positive law. The 2012 edition of the Code was prepared and published under the supervision of Ralph V. Seep, Law Revision Counsel. Grateful acknowledgment is made of the contributions by all who helped in this work, particularly the staffs of the Office of the Law Revision Counsel and the Government Printing Office"--Preface.

The newest edition of the leading casebook in the field of veterans law features almost a third new cases and new sections on emerging issues to support theory-based classroom instruction and practice-based clinical teaching. This edition includes comprehensive updates and new materials on topics including Gulf War claims, class actions at the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims, and the Appeals Modernization Act. The cases focus on those most influential on practice at the CAVC and the Board of Veterans' Appeals, while the notes and questions support discussions of descriptive and normative theory. The overall approach is to compare how veterans law handles issues common to related areas, such as torts, evidence, administrative law, and civil procedure. It further examines whether the differences can be explained by veteran-friendly doctrines, administrative considerations, or historical inertia.
