The Name and Gender Change Workshop helps transgender, nonbinary, and gender-variant clients apply for court-ordered name and gender marker changes. We work with clients to fill out the paperwork necessary to update their information on their state or federal identity documents. Students will have the opportunity to perform intake interviews and provide guidance/advice to clients, while learning more about the administrative processes and petitions of local California courts.
Supervision: Students will provide legal services under the supervision of attorneys from Berkeley Law’s clinical partner, the East Bay Community Law Center (EBCLC).
Time Commitment: Three clinics in Fall semester & four clinics in Spring semester, running 3-4 hours each; and several trainings/shorter SLP meetings in addition to our regularly-scheduled clinics. Students should anticipate spending approximately 15 hours per semester on this SLP.
