Our own beautiful, diverse LGBTQ+ legal community is often perceived by others as being solely a white community, disregarding the needs and interests of LGBTQ+ lawyers and law students of color; moreover, the legal movement for LGBTQ+ equality is too-often internally driven solely or heavily by white leadership, with insufficient attention paid to issues that disproportionately impact Black, Brown, and Indigenous LGBTQ+ people.\u00a0Each of us has a unique and urgent role to play in dismantling white supremacy within our own movement and within our own places of work. Join us during our live program on Wednesday, August 12 for this featured plenary of esteemed speakers from different legal sectors to learn more about the racial inequities within the legal community as a whole as well as the challenges specific to our own LGBTQ+ legal community. Our panelists will also, importantly, discuss techniques that we all can implement or advocate for within our workplaces to make tangible impact to dismantle biased systems. <em>Moderated by Justice McKenna.<\/em><\/div><\/td><td class='event_speakers'><a href='https:\/\/lgbtqbar.org\/annual\/conference-speakers\/taylor-brown\/'>Taylor Brown<\/a> <em>(ACLU)<\/em><br><a href='https:\/\/lgbtqbar.org\/annual\/conference-speakers\/bendita-malakia-2\/'>Bendita Cynthia Malakia<\/a> <em>(Hogan Lovells)<\/em><br><a href='https:\/\/lgbtqbar.org\/annual\/conference-speakers\/justice-sabrina-mckenna\/'>Justice Sabrina McKenna<\/a> <em>(Hawai'i Supreme Court)<\/em><br><a href='https:\/\/lgbtqbar.org\/annual\/conference-speakers\/robert-raben\/'>Robert Raben<\/a> <em>(The Raben Group)<\/em><\/td><td class='event_location'>TBA<\/td><\/tr><tr class='concurrent event_time'><td>2:15 pm - 3:45 pm<\/td><td class='event_title'><strong>Featured CLE Program<\/strong><\/td><td class='event_speakers'><\/td><td  class='event_location'>TBA<\/td><\/tr><tr class='c_workshop'><td><\/td><td  class='event_title'><a href='https:\/\/lgbtqbar.org\/annual\/conference-workshops\/title-vii-and-beyond-the-scope-of-lgbtq-employment-law-in-the-aftermath-of-bostock-stephens-zarda\/'>Title VII and Beyond: The Scope of Civil Rights Protections in the Aftermath of Bostock\/Stephens\/Zarda<\/a><div class='desc'>On June 15, 2020, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its long-awaited opinion in the combined cases of\u00a0<i>Bostock v. Clayton County\u00a0(\u201cBostock\u201d)<\/i>,\u00a0<i>R. G. &amp; G. R. Harris Funeral Homes, Inc. v.

The impact of this ruling upon LGBTQ+ people in America cannot be overstated: 16% of\u00a0LGBT\u00a0people report having lost a job due to their sexual orientation or gender identity, yet 25 states and three U.S. territories have no\u00a0explicit\u00a0state\u00a0law\u00a0employment protections for LGBTQ+ people. This win is monumental since\u00a0now LGBTQ+ individuals\u00a0across the country have clear workplace\u00a0federal civil rights protections. Yet\u00a0this\u00a0does not bring an end to the work. Our panel will analyze the combined\u00a0<i>Bostock\/Stephens\/Zarda<\/i>\u00a0opinion, discuss its\u00a0broad\u00a0impact on the LGBTQ+ community, and talk about next\u00a0frontiers\u00a0in the fight for full equality\u00a0under our current laws and beyond.\r\n<em>Facilitated by Nan Hunter.<\/em><\/div><\/td><td class='event_speakers'><a href='https:\/\/lgbtqbar.org\/annual\/conference-speakers\/sunu-chandy-2\/'>Sunu Chandy<\/a> <em>(National Women's Law Center)<\/em><br><a href='https:\/\/lgbtqbar.org\/annual\/conference-speakers\/alexander-chen\/'>Alexander Chen<\/a> <em>(Harvard Law School)<\/em><br><a href='https:\/\/lgbtqbar.org\/annual\/conference-speakers\/james-esseks\/'>James Esseks<\/a> <em>(ACLU)<\/em><br><a href='https:\/\/lgbtqbar.org\/annual\/conference-speakers\/nan-hunter-2\/'>Nan Hunter<\/a> <em>(Georgetown University Law Center)<\/em><br><a href='https:\/\/lgbtqbar.org\/annual\/conference-speakers\/sharon-mcgowan-2\/'>Sharon McGowan<\/a> <em>(Lambda Legal)<\/em><\/td><td class='event_location'>TBA<\/td><\/tr><tr class='concurrent event_time'><td>4:00 pm - 5:30 pm<\/td><td class='event_title'><strong>VIP\/Top Sponsor Panel (By Invitation Only)<\/strong><\/td><td class='event_speakers'><\/td><td  class='event_location'>TBA<\/td><\/tr><tr class='c_workshop'><td><\/td><td  class='event_title'><a href='https:\/\/lgbtqbar.org\/annual\/conference-workshops\/vip-top-sponsor-panel\/'>VIP\/Top Sponsor Panel (Sponsored by White &amp; Case LLP)<\/a><div class='desc'><p class=\"p1\">BY INVITATION ONLY.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The past four years have witnessed significant cutbacks in legal protections for LGBTQ+ individuals, with occasional important victories that advance the movement for full equality. 2020 has been no exception. <span class=\"s1\">In early June, the Department of Health and Human Services revised Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act to remove protections for transgender people; followed by the Supreme Court\u2019s ruling on June 15th in Bostock v. Clayton County, affirming that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964\u2019s prohibition on sex discrimination does protect employees from discrimination based upon their sexual orientation or gender identity. What does Bostock mean for you as in-house counsel, how are other sex-based statutory provisions such as those in the ACA impacted by this ruling, and how do you design policies and procedures that respect the law while also going further to ensure your employer provides a respectful environment to all LGBTQ+ employees? <\/span><span class=\"s1\">In this session, we will hear from leading diversity, equity, and inclusion practitioners about best practices to ensure LGBTQ+ equality in the employment setting, how to implement affirming insurance benefits, and the best ways to weave respect for LGBTQ+ employees in all of your workplace procedures. This program is facilitated by Dru Levasseur, head of the LGBT Bar\u2019s groundbreaking LGBTQ+ inclusion coaching and consulting program, known as Lavender Law 365\u2122, who will share key tips for in-house counsel in this exclusive session.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/td><td class='event_speakers'><a href='https:\/\/lgbtqbar.org\/annual\/conference-speakers\/wesley-bizzell\/'>Wesley Bizzell<\/a> <em>(Altria Client Services LLC)<\/em><br><a href='https:\/\/lgbtqbar.org\/annual\/conference-speakers\/m-dru-levasseur\/'>M.

Groups such as the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) and Liberty Counsel have litigated for decades against same-sex relationship recognition and parenting, have conducted trainings for thousands of law students and lawyers, and have built a vast network of pro bono attorneys who support their opposition to equality and inclusion - all under the guise of religion. Following the Obergefell decision in 2015, these groups increased and broadened their litigation and policy attacks on LGBTQ+ people, particularly targeting the most vulnerable in our \u201cfamily,\u201d our transgender youth. Fueled further by the Trump Administration, numerous members of these groups and the legions of attorneys trained by them have now risen to high level positions within the top echelons of government agencies and the federal judiciary. This plenary session will review the rise of power of these anti-LGBTQ+ legal groups and their misuse of religion, and will discuss the threat they pose both to LGBTQ+ people's safety and equality and to the sense of fundamental fairness of a secular legal profession. Attendees will learn actions every lawyer can take to push back against these groups while ensuring that their own legal workplaces are LGBTQ+ inclusive and affirming.<\/div><\/td><td class='event_speakers'><a href='https:\/\/lgbtqbar.org\/annual\/conference-speakers\/heron-greenesmith\/'>Heron Greenesmith<\/a> <em>(Political Research Associates)<\/em><br><a href='https:\/\/lgbtqbar.org\/annual\/conference-speakers\/sharon-mcgowan-2\/'>Sharon McGowan<\/a> <em>(Lambda Legal)<\/em><br><a href='https:\/\/lgbtqbar.org\/annual\/conference-speakers\/cathy-sakimura\/'>Cathy Sakimura<\/a> <em>(National Center for Lesbian Rights)<\/em><br><a href='https:\/\/lgbtqbar.org\/annual\/conference-speakers\/brennan-suen\/'>Brennan Suen<\/a> <em>(Media Matters)<\/em><br><a href='https:\/\/lgbtqbar.org\/annual\/conference-speakers\/kasey-suffredini\/'>Kasey Suffredini<\/a> <em>(Freedom For All Americans)<\/em><\/td><td class='event_location'>TBA<\/td><\/tr><tr class='concurrent event_time'><td>2:15 pm - 3:45 pm<\/td><td class='event_title'><strong>Featured CLE Program<\/strong><\/td><td class='event_speakers'><\/td><td  class='event_location'>TBA<\/td><\/tr><tr class='c_workshop'><td><\/td><td  class='event_title'><a href='https:\/\/lgbtqbar.org\/annual\/conference-workshops\/why-trans-kids-why-now-the-reactionary-attack-on-transgender-rights\/'>Why Trans Kids, Why Now: The Reactionary Attack on Transgender Rights<\/a><div class='desc'>This past legislative session state legislatures were inundated by an unprecedented and widespread legislative attack on trans youth. From criminalizing doctors for providing medically necessary treatment to transgender youth to excluding transgender youth from participating in sports, conservative legislators have laid bare a coordinated strategy to deny the transgender community, especially trans youth, equal protection under the law. Most of those bills have failed despite the cruelty of this political environment. This panel will explore these bills from a range of perspectives: organizers and lobbyists who fought these bills, the lawyers challenging the bills should they become law, and the research on the individuals and organizations behind this slate of hate.<\/div><\/td><td class='event_speakers'><a href='https:\/\/lgbtqbar.org\/annual\/conference-speakers\/alejandra-caraballo\/'>Alejandra Caraballo<\/a> <em>(Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund)<\/em><br><a href='https:\/\/lgbtqbar.org\/annual\/conference-speakers\/heron-greenesmith\/'>Heron Greenesmith<\/a> <em>(Political Research Associates)<\/em><br><a href='https:\/\/lgbtqbar.org\/annual\/conference-speakers\/asaf-orr-2\/'>Asaf Orr<\/a> <em>(National Center for Lesbian Rights)<\/em><br><a href='https:\/\/lgbtqbar.org\/annual\/conference-speakers\/allison-scott\/'>Allison Scott<\/a> <em>(Campaign for Southern Equality)<\/em><br><a href='https:\/\/lgbtqbar.org\/annual\/conference-speakers\/libby-skarin\/'>Libby Skarin<\/a> <em>(ACLU of South Dakota)<\/em><\/td><td class='event_location'>TBA<\/td><\/tr><tr class='concurrent event_time'><td>4:00 pm - 5:30 pm<\/td><td class='event_title'><strong>Speed Networking (By Invitation Only)<\/strong><\/td><td class='event_speakers'><\/td><td  class='event_location'>TBA<\/td><\/tr><tr class='c_workshop'><td><\/td><td  class='event_title'><a href='https:\/\/lgbtqbar.org\/annual\/conference-workshops\/corporate-counsel-speed-networking-sponsored-by-white-case-llp\/'>Corporate Counsel Speed Networking (Sponsored by White &amp; Case LLP)<\/a><div class='desc'>BY INVITATION ONLY.\u00a0<em>Not for CLE credit.<\/em><\/div><\/td><td class='event_speakers'>TBA<\/td><td class='event_location'>TBA<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/div><div class=\"dms_scroller\"><div class=\"climate-vscoll\"><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-circle-up vscroll-up\" ><\/i><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-circle-down vscroll-down\"><\/i><\/div><div class=\"climate-hscoll\"><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-circle-left hscroll-left\" ><\/i><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-circle-right hscroll-right\"><\/i><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column_text]\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div  class=\"ult_tabitemname\"  >\n\t\t\t\t[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"feature font-orange\">Friday, August 14, 2020<\/h3>\n<div class=\"dms_scroller\"><div class=\"climate-vscoll\"><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-circle-up vscroll-up\" ><\/i><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-circle-down vscroll-down\"><\/i><\/div><div class=\"climate-hscoll\"><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-circle-left hscroll-left\" ><\/i><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-circle-right hscroll-right\"><\/i><\/div><\/div><div class=\"event_wrapper\" id=\"event_wrapper\"><table class=\"schedule_event year-2020\"><thead><th class=\"event_time\">Time<\/th><th class=\"event\">Event<\/th><th class=\"speakers\">Speakers<\/th><th class=\"location\">Location<\/th><\/thead><tbody><tr class='concurrent event_time'><td>10:45 am - 11:00 am<\/td><td class='event_title'><strong>Welcome and Announcements<\/strong><\/td><td class='event_speakers'><\/td><td  class='event_location'>TBA<\/td><\/tr><tr class='concurrent event_time'><td>11:00 am - 12:30 pm<\/td><td class='event_title'><strong>Law Student Career Planning Program<\/strong><\/td><td class='event_speakers'><\/td><td  class='event_location'>TBA<\/td><\/tr><tr class='c_workshop'><td><\/td><td  class='event_title'><a href='https:\/\/lgbtqbar.org\/annual\/conference-workshops\/career-planning-program\/'>Career Services and Job Search Strategies for LGBTQ+ Law Students<\/a><div class='desc'>A panel of legal practitioners with experience working in government, non-profit, and different sized law firms, moderated by a legal career services professional, will discuss the tools, considerations and critical aspects to find, research and evaluate entry level employment in today\u2019s legal market.

Our own beautiful, diverse LGBTQ+ legal community is often perceived by others as being solely a white community, disregarding the needs and interests of LGBTQ+ lawyers and law students of color; moreover, the legal movement for LGBTQ+ equality is too-often internally driven solely or heavily by white leadership, with insufficient attention paid to issues that disproportionately impact Black, Brown, and Indigenous LGBTQ+ people.\u00a0Each of us has a unique and urgent role to play in dismantling white supremacy within our own movement and within our own places of work. Join us during our live program on Wednesday, August 12 for this featured plenary of esteemed speakers from different legal sectors to learn more about the racial inequities within the legal community as a whole as well as the challenges specific to our own LGBTQ+ legal community. Our panelists will also, importantly, discuss techniques that we all can implement or advocate for within our workplaces to make tangible impact to dismantle biased systems. <em>Moderated by Justice McKenna.<\/em><\/div><\/td><td class='event_speakers'><a href='https:\/\/lgbtqbar.org\/annual\/conference-speakers\/taylor-brown\/'>Taylor Brown<\/a> <em>(ACLU)<\/em><br><a href='https:\/\/lgbtqbar.org\/annual\/conference-speakers\/bendita-malakia-2\/'>Bendita Cynthia Malakia<\/a> <em>(Hogan Lovells)<\/em><br><a href='https:\/\/lgbtqbar.org\/annual\/conference-speakers\/justice-sabrina-mckenna\/'>Justice Sabrina McKenna<\/a> <em>(Hawai'i Supreme Court)<\/em><br><a href='https:\/\/lgbtqbar.org\/annual\/conference-speakers\/robert-raben\/'>Robert Raben<\/a> <em>(The Raben Group)<\/em><\/td><td class='event_location'>TBA<\/td><\/tr><tr class='concurrent event_time'><td>2:15 pm - 3:45 pm<\/td><td class='event_title'><strong>Featured CLE Program<\/strong><\/td><td class='event_speakers'><\/td><td  class='event_location'>TBA<\/td><\/tr><tr class='c_workshop'><td><\/td><td  class='event_title'><a href='https:\/\/lgbtqbar.org\/annual\/conference-workshops\/title-vii-and-beyond-the-scope-of-lgbtq-employment-law-in-the-aftermath-of-bostock-stephens-zarda\/'>Title VII and Beyond: The Scope of Civil Rights Protections in the Aftermath of Bostock\/Stephens\/Zarda<\/a><div class='desc'>On June 15, 2020, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its long-awaited opinion in the combined cases of\u00a0<i>Bostock v.

The impact of this ruling upon LGBTQ+ people in America cannot be overstated: 16% of\u00a0LGBT\u00a0people report having lost a job due to their sexual orientation or gender identity, yet 25 states and three U.S. territories have no\u00a0explicit\u00a0state\u00a0law\u00a0employment protections for LGBTQ+ people.

Clayton County, affirming that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964\u2019s prohibition on sex discrimination does protect employees from discrimination based upon their sexual orientation or gender identity. What does Bostock mean for you as in-house counsel, how are other sex-based statutory provisions such as those in the ACA impacted by this ruling, and how do you design policies and procedures that respect the law while also going further to ensure your employer provides a respectful environment to all LGBTQ+ employees? <\/span><span class=\"s1\">In this session, we will hear from leading diversity, equity, and inclusion practitioners about best practices to ensure LGBTQ+ equality in the employment setting, how to implement affirming insurance benefits, and the best ways to weave respect for LGBTQ+ employees in all of your workplace procedures. This program is facilitated by Dru Levasseur, head of the LGBT Bar\u2019s groundbreaking LGBTQ+ inclusion coaching and consulting program, known as Lavender Law 365\u2122, who will share key tips for in-house counsel in this exclusive session.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/td><td class='event_speakers'><a href='https:\/\/lgbtqbar.org\/annual\/conference-speakers\/wesley-bizzell\/'>Wesley Bizzell<\/a> <em>(Altria Client Services LLC)<\/em><br><a href='https:\/\/lgbtqbar.org\/annual\/conference-speakers\/m-dru-levasseur\/'>M.

Groups such as the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) and Liberty Counsel have litigated for decades against same-sex relationship recognition and parenting, have conducted trainings for thousands of law students and lawyers, and have built a vast network of pro bono attorneys who support their opposition to equality and inclusion - all under the guise of religion. Following the Obergefell decision in 2015, these groups increased and broadened their litigation and policy attacks on LGBTQ+ people, particularly targeting the most vulnerable in our \u201cfamily,\u201d our transgender youth. Fueled further by the Trump Administration, numerous members of these groups and the legions of attorneys trained by them have now risen to high level positions within the top echelons of government agencies and the federal judiciary. This plenary session will review the rise of power of these anti-LGBTQ+ legal groups and their misuse of religion, and will discuss the threat they pose both to LGBTQ+ people's safety and equality and to the sense of fundamental fairness of a secular legal profession. Attendees will learn actions every lawyer can take to push back against these groups while ensuring that their own legal workplaces are LGBTQ+ inclusive and affirming.<\/div><\/td><td class='event_speakers'><a href='https:\/\/lgbtqbar.org\/annual\/conference-speakers\/heron-greenesmith\/'>Heron Greenesmith<\/a> <em>(Political Research Associates)<\/em><br><a href='https:\/\/lgbtqbar.org\/annual\/conference-speakers\/sharon-mcgowan-2\/'>Sharon McGowan<\/a> <em>(Lambda Legal)<\/em><br><a href='https:\/\/lgbtqbar.org\/annual\/conference-speakers\/cathy-sakimura\/'>Cathy Sakimura<\/a> <em>(National Center for Lesbian Rights)<\/em><br><a href='https:\/\/lgbtqbar.org\/annual\/conference-speakers\/brennan-suen\/'>Brennan Suen<\/a> <em>(Media Matters)<\/em><br><a href='https:\/\/lgbtqbar.org\/annual\/conference-speakers\/kasey-suffredini\/'>Kasey Suffredini<\/a> <em>(Freedom For All Americans)<\/em><\/td><td class='event_location'>TBA<\/td><\/tr><tr class='concurrent event_time'><td>2:15 pm - 3:45 pm<\/td><td class='event_title'><strong>Featured CLE Program<\/strong><\/td><td class='event_speakers'><\/td><td  class='event_location'>TBA<\/td><\/tr><tr class='c_workshop'><td><\/td><td  class='event_title'><a href='https:\/\/lgbtqbar.org\/annual\/conference-workshops\/why-trans-kids-why-now-the-reactionary-attack-on-transgender-rights\/'>Why Trans Kids, Why Now: The Reactionary Attack on Transgender Rights<\/a><div class='desc'>This past legislative session state legislatures were inundated by an unprecedented and widespread legislative attack on trans youth. From criminalizing doctors for providing medically necessary treatment to transgender youth to excluding transgender youth from participating in sports, conservative legislators have laid bare a coordinated strategy to deny the transgender community, especially trans youth, equal protection under the law. Most of those bills have failed despite the cruelty of this political environment. This panel will explore these bills from a range of perspectives: organizers and lobbyists who fought these bills, the lawyers challenging the bills should they become law, and the research on the individuals and organizations behind this slate of hate.<\/div><\/td><td class='event_speakers'><a href='https:\/\/lgbtqbar.org\/annual\/conference-speakers\/alejandra-caraballo\/'>Alejandra Caraballo<\/a> <em>(Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund)<\/em><br><a href='https:\/\/lgbtqbar.org\/annual\/conference-speakers\/heron-greenesmith\/'>Heron Greenesmith<\/a> <em>(Political Research Associates)<\/em><br><a href='https:\/\/lgbtqbar.org\/annual\/conference-speakers\/asaf-orr-2\/'>Asaf Orr<\/a> <em>(National Center for Lesbian Rights)<\/em><br><a href='https:\/\/lgbtqbar.org\/annual\/conference-speakers\/allison-scott\/'>Allison Scott<\/a> <em>(Campaign for Southern Equality)<\/em><br><a href='https:\/\/lgbtqbar.org\/annual\/conference-speakers\/libby-skarin\/'>Libby Skarin<\/a> <em>(ACLU of South Dakota)<\/em><\/td><td class='event_location'>TBA<\/td><\/tr><tr class='concurrent event_time'><td>4:00 pm - 5:30 pm<\/td><td class='event_title'><strong>Speed Networking (By Invitation Only)<\/strong><\/td><td class='event_speakers'><\/td><td  class='event_location'>TBA<\/td><\/tr><tr class='c_workshop'><td><\/td><td  class='event_title'><a href='https:\/\/lgbtqbar.org\/annual\/conference-workshops\/corporate-counsel-speed-networking-sponsored-by-white-case-llp\/'>Corporate Counsel Speed Networking (Sponsored by White &amp; Case LLP)<\/a><div class='desc'>BY INVITATION ONLY.\u00a0<em>Not for CLE credit.<\/em><\/div><\/td><td class='event_speakers'>TBA<\/td><td class='event_location'>TBA<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/div><div class=\"dms_scroller\"><div class=\"climate-vscoll\"><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-circle-up vscroll-up\" ><\/i><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-circle-down vscroll-down\"><\/i><\/div><div class=\"climate-hscoll\"><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-circle-left hscroll-left\" ><\/i><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-circle-right hscroll-right\"><\/i><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column_text]\n\t\t\t\t            <\/div>\n\t        \t\t\t<\/dd><dt class=\"\">\n\t        \t<a class=\"ult-tabto-actitle withBorder ult_a \" id=\"1483590299160-3-1\" style=\"color:#ffffff;;background-color:#428dc4;border-bottom-color:transparent;border-bottom-width:0px;border-bottom-style:solid;border-bottom-color:transparent;border-bottom-width:0px;border-bottom-style:solid;border-bottom-color:transparent;border-bottom-width:0px;border-bottom-style:solid;\" href=\"#1483590299160-3-1\">\n\t        \t\t<i class=\"accordion-icon\"><\/i>\n\t        \t\t\t<span class=\"ult_tab_main ult_ac_main ult_noacordicnBoth\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span  data-ultimate-target='#advanced-tabs-wrap-8258 .ult-span-text'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"desktop:20px;\",\"line-height\":\"\"}'  class=\"ult-span-text no_icon ult_acordian-text ult-responsive\" style=\";color:inherit \" >Friday, August 14<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span><\/a><\/dt>\n\t            \t\t<dd class=\"ult-tabto-accordionItem ult-tabto-accolapsed\">\n\t\t\t\t            <div class=\"ult-tabto-acontent\" style=\"background-color:#ffffff;color:#42474d;\">\n\t\t\t\t               [vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"feature font-orange\">Friday, August 14, 2020<\/h3>\n<div class=\"dms_scroller\"><div class=\"climate-vscoll\"><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-circle-up vscroll-up\" ><\/i><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-circle-down vscroll-down\"><\/i><\/div><div class=\"climate-hscoll\"><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-circle-left hscroll-left\" ><\/i><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-circle-right hscroll-right\"><\/i><\/div><\/div><div class=\"event_wrapper\" id=\"event_wrapper\"><table class=\"schedule_event year-2020\"><thead><th class=\"event_time\">Time<\/th><th class=\"event\">Event<\/th><th class=\"speakers\">Speakers<\/th><th class=\"location\">Location<\/th><\/thead><tbody><tr class='concurrent event_time'><td>10:45 am - 11:00 am<\/td><td class='event_title'><strong>Welcome and Announcements<\/strong><\/td><td class='event_speakers'><\/td><td  class='event_location'>TBA<\/td><\/tr><tr class='concurrent event_time'><td>11:00 am - 12:30 pm<\/td><td class='event_title'><strong>Law Student Career Planning Program<\/strong><\/td><td class='event_speakers'><\/td><td  class='event_location'>TBA<\/td><\/tr><tr class='c_workshop'><td><\/td><td  class='event_title'><a href='https:\/\/lgbtqbar.org\/annual\/conference-workshops\/career-planning-program\/'>Career Services and Job Search Strategies for LGBTQ+ Law Students<\/a><div class='desc'>A panel of legal practitioners with experience working in government, non-profit, and different sized law firms, moderated by a legal career services professional, will discuss the tools, considerations and critical aspects to find, research and evaluate entry level employment in today\u2019s legal market.
