The NLD’s June CLE offering is “COVID-19 Impacts on LGBTQ+ Community: Practical Steps for Inclusive Representation,” by Alphonse Littlejohn and J. Denise Diskin, QLaw.

COVID-19 has significantly impacted access to justice, especially in communities already experiencing legal barriers.  This conversation will provide information about how COVID-19 has impacted LGBTQ+ communities, with a particular focus on Black, Indigenous, and other people of color and rural communities, and will offer an overview of common legal issues arising in LGBTQ+ communities because of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as updates to legislation protecting marginalized and poor people in Washington.  Attendees will also have an opportunity to share best practices and litigation strategies for serving LGBTQ+ clients.
