Resumen del libro
Publisher Summary 1
This guide for attorneys with lesbian, gay and transgender clients not only focuses on the unique legal issues that these individuals encounter, but it also discusses the need for perspective and sensitivity. Burda, who practices law in Ohio, maintains that laws need to be continually challenged in regards to equal protection, and she encourages readers to explore every jurisdiction for opportunities to change legislation to promote these ideals. A CD-ROM is included that provides many of the forms that are customized for lesbian, gay and transgender legal issues. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

This book provides the opportunity to look at legal issues from different perspectives. In addition to case law, statutes and a discussion of legal issues, this book also introduces the reader to people who make up the lesbian/gay/transgender community.
