The Name and Gender Change Workshop provides legal assistance for transgender, nonbinary, and gender variant individuals. Student advocates fill out paperwork for court-ordered name and/or gender marker changes, helping members of the transgender community navigate the process to affirm their identity on various forms of identification – driver’s licenses, passports, birth certificates, Social Security cards, USCIS documents, and more. We want to aid the LGBT+ community and provide them support as clients make the impactful decision to legally change their name and/or gender.
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: Students should anticipate spending approximately 15 hours per semester on this SLP, including 1-2 trainings/meetings per semester. Three clinics per semester, running 3-4 hours each.
