2.00 Elimination of Bias CLE Credits
Tuition $125.00Existing sex discrimination laws are becoming an increasingly effective source of protections for transgender individuals; however there is still a long way to go to ensure that all individuals are protected from gender identity discrimination. This seminar will focus on three areas:
1) Changes in law and policy relating to gender identity at the national level;
2) Issues relating to gender identity currently being litigated in state courts
3) Perspectives of a transitioned attorney on both practicing law as a transgender attorney and the issues facing both transgender attorneys and clients in the current judicial system.Presenters: Sharon M.
