Brooklyn Bar Association CLE will cover transgender students’ rights
The Brooklyn Bar Association’s LGBTQ Committee has quickly become one of the most active committees in presenting continuing legal education and will present another one on transgender student rights at the bar association building on Remsen Street on Tuesday, May, 8 at 6 p.m.
The seminar is titled “Transgender Student Rights: An Emergent Legal Landscape” and it will be presented by Linda M. Diaz, of Lawyers for Children, Inc.; Kimberly Forte, of the Legal Aid Society; and Bobby Hodgson, from the New York Civil Liberties Union.
The two-hour-long seminar will give attorneys an introduction to the unique challenges facing the transgender and gender non-conforming students in public schools. It will examine the current protections available to these students within local, state and federal jurisdictions.
