Pro Bono Week | ID Document Corrections in Minnesota

Celebrating Pro Bono Week: October 20 - 24. 

Join us for a week of free CLES presented by the MSBA Access to Justice Committee and in collaboration with the American Bar Association.

This national initiative honors the work of Minnesota lawyers who dedicate time to pro bono. Learn new skills. Discover opportunities. Make a difference. And thank you for providing Pro Bono services during the year. 

Select from five CLE webcasts during the week. Or attend them all. 

Presentation:

Join Volunteer Lawyers Network’s LGBTQ+ Legal Clinic for a CLE that will cover everything you need to know to help folks through name changes, gender marker corrections on ID documents, understand the current policy landscape, and correctly identify any the common legal issues that arise. The session will also cover an introduction to skills for trauma-informed lawyering, working with trans and BIPOC clients, and the risk management concerns around legal strategy in today’s landscape. Written reference materials are available to assist you in issue spotting and correctly advising clients with potential ID document issues.
