Location:
Gonzaga University School of Law, 721 N Commerical St.
Spokane , WA
This interactive discussion is intended to bring LGBT Law Section members together across the state to brainstorm and discuss key legal issues affecting the LGBT community and the legal professionals serving them and identify challenges and obstacles affecting attorney mental health and work-life balance. With the backdrop of recent studies on diversity in the legal profession and challenges facing the LGBT community, this CLE will strive to answer the following questions:
- As an attorney/legal professional, what obstacles do you see that affect your work-life balance, mental health, or otherwise add stress to your life?
- As an attorney serving the LGBTQ population, what obstacles do you see affecting your client’s ability to access legal services and/or are there unserved legal needs not being met? What can we do to meet them?
- What do you see as the biggest legal issues facing the LGBT community in Washington as a whole?
- What, if any, resources are available to help address these issues? What resources do you wish were available to you or your clients to help address these issues?
The CLE will include both small-group discussions and large-group analysis, with separate groups meeting in Seattle and Spokane and video conferencing available between the two groups. The goal of the CLE is to identify overlap among the different subject areas, identify key topics to include in future educational programs (including a planned future CLE on work-life balance), identify unmet legal needs, and determine ways in which the Section can better serve its members in addressing these issues.
