Assistant Professor Carlissa Carson, a distinguished veterans' law scholar and U.S. Air Force lieutenant colonel, has had a new article published by the Brooklyn Law Review.

Her article “Conflicting Canons of Construction: The Aftermath in Veterans’ Law” examines the implications of the Supreme Court's recent decision to overturn Chevron deference, focusing on its impact on veterans' benefits cases. She advocates for the continued application of the pro-veteran canon established in Gardner, emphasizing its role in ensuring a fair and non-adversarial system for veterans seeking benefits.

This article is a must-read for anyone interested in administrative law, veterans' rights, and the evolving landscape of statutory interpretation.
