On Tuesday 26th March at 6:00 pm in the Law Building (room 317) we will be joined by the incredible Tara Suamba (they/them) and Kelly Cassidy (she/they/he)!

Tara and Kelly are currently lawyering at Q+Law - a free state-wide legal clinic for all individuals who identify as part of LGBTIQA+ communities.

The workshop will focus on soft skills for effectively working with queer individuals in the legal system. Specific areas such as misidentification in family violence cases and the application of practice areas to cisgender versus transgender individuals, as well as heterosexual versus queer couples, will be covered.

Discussions will address examples of both direct and indirect discrimination, including examples of policies that may disproportionately affect LGBTQ+ individuals. Practical exercises will emphasise communication with queer clients and the importance of avoiding assumptions based on heteronormative values.

As always, free bevvies and food from the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre will be provided!

This event is proudly supported by the MULSS ESJ portfolio.
