Justice Hecht Summary
One of the issues that Justice Hecht presented is that veterans aren’t getting the basic civil legal services. In other words, when servicemen and women come back home from the military, they are having a hard time finding a job, paying off debt, having their family struggling, and benefits delayed. Hecht has presented that since many veterans are facing this problem when they return home, sometimes these veterans commit suicide by struggling from economic problems. The Supreme Court requested $4 million to help provide legal aid to veterans since many veterans are facing legal problems which they cannot afford lawyers. The Texas Veterans Commission has reviewed the Court’s request and in return they provided $1.5 million for legal aid and
veterans criminal courts. After reading the issue and the solution, I agree with the solution presented. Many times when people go into the military they often go right after high school. Since this happens, servicemen and women who return back home don’t have a college degree which makes it harder for them to find a good paying job to support their families. I think it’s important that we should take care of our veterans since they have fought for our country and our freedom so we should give back to them as they sacrificed a part of their life for this country. I think it’s good that the Supreme Court has given money to help support veterans with legal services and for veterans’ criminal courts. In my opinion. I agree with the solution because not only will it help them get affordable lawyers, it can also provide them with programs that can help them. Hecht states that “Our military cannot return from risking their lives in defense of our freedoms and values only to find that the justice system they fought for has left them behind.” I agree with his statement because our military has fought for this country and should be awarded for doing so. They shouldn’t have to come back with more stressful problems in their life.
