Representing Your Trans Clients in a Transphobic World

While transgender clients may face unique legal concerns, in many ways, transgender clients are no different from other clients who walk in your door. They have the same need for resolution, respect and effective representation. For those lawyers who are interested in working with transgender clients, anxiety about doing or saying the wrong thing may prevent you from expanding your legal practice or being a sensitive and effective advocate. This panel is designed to provide some tips on working with transgender clients, and to identify the resources that are available to lawyers who may be tackling for the first time issues facing transgender clients.
