Veterans' law deals with certain special rights that veterans are entitled to as a result of their service in the armed forces. The Executive Branch of the United States government created the Department of Veterans Affairs to administer and enforce these laws. Most of the laws that apply especially to veterans deal with retirement, disability, healthcare, vocational and educational services, and death benefits for dependents of veterans.

Common issues that arise in the area of veterans' law include some of the following:

•  Procedure for challenging the denial of a veteran's claim for benefits
•  Potential forfeiture of entitled benefits and services based on conduct 
•  Determining Veteran educational and training rights
•  Whether Injuries were a result of military service
•  Burial Rights
•  Whether a veteran is entitled to receive certain Pension benefits

Veterans' law is a very specific and detailed area of the law, and more complex and difficult issues than those listed above are likely to arise.
