Columbia Law School's Sexuality & Gender Law Clinic, founded in the fall of 2006, is the first law school clinic anywhere in the U.S. directed by a full-time law school faculty member and dedicated to legal and public policy issues related to gender and sexuality.

In the Issues section of this website, you will find resources for the general public, as well as for lawyers and law students, on a wide array of gender and sexuality issues.  

These resources, and more, are all produced by Columbia Law Sexuality & Gender Law Clinic students who spend a semester or more in the Clinic's  intensive learning and working environment.  Here, they hone lawyering and advocacy skills while working directly on cutting edge sexuality and gender law issues and providing vital assistance to lawyers and organizations throughout the country and the world that advocate for the equality and safety of women and lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, and transgender individuals.

The Clinic emphasizes multidimensional lawyering, which is the practice of being strategic, smart and creative in identifying and deploying resources to advocate for social change. Our projects encompass all forms of advocacy, including litigation, public policy development, legislative drafting, training, organizing, public education, and media outreach.
