LAW 2967 - Practical LGBT Lawyering


The course will use practical lawyering experiences as a lens to teach students skills for representing lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (“LGBT”) clients. Because many areas of law apply to LGBT individuals and families differently than to heterosexual individuals and families, lawyers need specialized expertise to represent LGBT clients in areas like adoption, marriage, family planning, trusts and estates, taxation, public benefits, education, immigration, employment, health care and others. The course will focus on practical skills while exploring the wide range of legal topics impacted by LGBT issues. Students will be required to handle some aspect of legal representation involving LGBT issues, either through their work with a clinic or through an approved externship placement.

Prerequisites & Notes
