Understanding and Addressing LGBT Domestic Violence
UCLA School of Law
6:30-8:30pm
This training, intended for practicing attorneys, law
students, judges, and other professionals, will help
participants to recognize the unique obstacles that LGBT
survivors confront when they turn to the legal system
for assistance. National experts on LGBT domestic
violence will provide participants with practical
information to better understand the experience of LGBT
domestic violence survivors, to assess when a person is
exercising systematic power and control in a
relationship, and to use domestic violence restraining
orders and other forms of legal relief to help survivors
achieve safety, autonomy, and justice.

ENDA is anticipated to prohibit employers from
discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation and
gender identity.This forward-leaning panel will explore
the impact of ENDA and the next frontiers for LGBT
employees in achieving workplace equality. Topics
covered will include ENDA's religious exemption,
limitations on enforcement of ENDA, and remaining
inequalities in employee benefits and taxation of those
benefits. The panel will also address what federal
anti-discrimination laws have and have not accomplished
for other protected groups such as racial minorities and
women, and what LGBT employees can learn from those
experiences
