The GLBT Bar Association Foundation of Washington (“QLAW Foundation”) will open a monthly legal clinic addressing the legal needs of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals and couples on July 16, 2009. Volunteer attorneys will meet with individuals for 30-minute consultations to provide legal advice and information. The clinic is free of charge.
The GLBT Legal Clinic is supported by the King County Bar Association Neighborhood Legal Clinic Program, which organizes free clinics on various legal issues throughout King County. The clinic also benefits from support from Equal Rights Washington and QLAW.
