Keep the Momentum Moving Forward
The National LGBT Bar Association's federal work continues to move!
A fair and impartial jury of one's peers is the bedrock of a just legal system. That's why last month's reintroduction of the Jury ACCESS (S. 635) and Juror Non-Discrimination (H.R. 1515) Acts in the Senate and House of Representatives was met with bipartisan support. The companion bills disallow the striking of a potential juror on the basis of their real or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity/expression. As the list of cosponsors grows, we are more focused than ever on moving this legislation forward.
The LGBT Bar cannot continue to work on such important policy initiatives without your support. Please consider becoming a member of the Bar today and help us fight against LGBT discrimination along with all of the other benefits of being a member! Already a member?
