The event will take place from noon to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 15, at the School of Law on the Topeka campus.

This is the second year the clinic has been held. Students work under the supervision of law school faculty to provide wills, living wills and durable powers of attorney for veterans and others with connections to the military.

All of the students in the clinic have been certified by the Kansas Supreme Court to work as legal interns.

Thomas Romig is dean of Washburn’s law school. He retired in 2005 as a major general in the Army Judge Advocate General’s Corps after 34 years of service.
