The Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender (GLBT) Law Clinic is a new clinic which is a collaborative effort of Harvard Law School’s student-run organization Lambda and Center staff. The Clinic will provide a broad range of direct legal services to the GLBT community with a particular emphasis on family-law related legal issues (child custody, support and visitation, second-parent adoptions, and school-related issues) and estate planning (wills, powers of attorneys, partnership agreements) to ensure that same-sex partners and families are legally protected. In addition to direct legal services, the Clinic will actively participate in creating systemic change and policy reform to further the rights and interests of the GLBT community.
For academic year 2008-2009, students wishing to work in this clinic must enroll in the Families and Children: Law and Policy Clinical Workshop A (fall) or B (spring). We also encourage interested students to concurrently enroll in any of the following courses: Legal Profession: Delivery of Legal Services (A or B); Legal Profession: The Lawyering Process (A2 or B1); Legal Needs of Moderate Income Clients (fall); Regulation of the Household (spring); Family Law (spring).
The Center’s Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender (GLBT) Law Clinic is part of the Center’s Family Law Practice Group. For more information on the Clinic, contact Robert Greenwald, Senior Clinical Instructor, Managing Attorney and Lecturer on Law, at rgreenwa@law.harvard.edu, (617) 390-2584 |
