As part of her introduction, Simcox explained Stetson’s Veterans Law Institute’s role in the community.

“We specifically focus on benefits issues for veterans, particularly the most difficult ones because we have a medical-legal partnership with another university’s medical school so we are able to get our veterans diagnoses and evaluations for evidence purposes,” she explained of Stetson’s Veterans Advocacy Clinic.
