VIETNAM-THE VISION THAT WAS PLANTED IN MY BRAIN

Posted on September 25, 2017 by asknod

CAVC–ROSINSKI V SHULKIN–IN A WHITE ROOM WITH BLACK CURTAINS

Posted on September 10, 2017 by asknod

Next to reversals, Extraordinary Writs of Mandamus always intrigue me. When filed by VA attorneys, they are generally a good read. When constructed as a class action suit to rein in the VA’s excesses, they are generally destined for immortality … Continue reading →

BVA BACKLOG–WE JUST BOUGHT THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE

Posted on August 26, 2017 by asknod
