Pride Month – There’s always learning to be done
June 12, 2019By Jakaeden Frizzell, CPD Program Coordinator
If you haven’t heard, June is Pride Month! What a great opportunity for us to reflect on the LGBTQ+ community and barriers they may face accessing justice. As a law profession, it is important that we continue improving our understanding and our inclusiveness, so we represent all peoples to the best of our ability. Luckily, the Law Society of Saskatchewan has taken initiative and has a resource available for you: Diversity and Inclusion: Working with LGBTQ+ Clients (CPD 228). Check out this free webinar with Jacq Brasseur (UR Pride) and Barton Soroka (Merchant Law) for an introduction to terminology and considerations when working with LGBTQ+ clients.
