All law school faculty, staff, & students are invited to host the greater university community in this interactive discussion & workshop on issues related to the Rights, Rules, & Remedies associated with the LGBTQ student experience across the university campus. This will be an informed discussion & workshop event, with audience engagement encouraged.

The “workshop” portion will be directed at guiding petitioners how to generate their pro se petitions for legal name & gender marker changes through the chancery courts of Mississippi. Other skills which will be presented include drafting Advance Health Care Directives, Power of Attorney, & Wills. Participants will receive individualized guidance from members of the law school community.

This event is funded by a grant from the Office of Diversity & Community Engagement, with support from OUTLaw, UM ACLU, the Law School’s Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Committee, Project One America of the HRC of MS, the LGBTQ Justice Project of the ACLU of MS, the TRANS Program, and the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Oxford. (Many representatives from the listed organizations will provide a welcome and a description of the contemporary issues they are working on related to LGBTQ justice.)

Come for all or only parts of the events. Be on the lookout for a detailed schedule of the events, or email Sarah for additional information.
