Free Training for Attorneys, Paralegals & Law Students

By  Gay Life

A free training session, "A Rose by Any Other Name: Understanding the Name Change Process," will be available to attorneys, paralegals and law students. Nicole Folks, Esq. of Kelliher & Salzer will provide attorneys with the nuts and bolts necessary for name change petition drafting. As an LGBT ally, Folks has been incredibly successful in helping numerous transgender individuals get name changes through the Circuit Court in Baltimore City.

Also important to any discussion of name changes or other issues with transgender clients, is the sensitivity that an attorney/paralegal brings to the table. Staff member and trainer Owen Smith of Equality Maryland will present "Trans 101 for Allies," a program on cultural sensitivity and the transgender community. We are asking that all who receive this free training be willing to take a name change case for a Free State Legal Project client.

A ROSE BY ANY OTHER NAME: UNDERSTANDING THE NAME CHANGE PROCESS
Thursday, March 8, 5:30-8pm • FREE
GLCCB • 241 W. Chase St.
Contact Lee Ann Hopkins, Esq. at 410.625.5428 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
