The annual LGBTQ+ Legal Update continues the discussion on the current state of the law, policy and challenges to legal rights in the LGBTQ+ community. This annual program, sponsored by the NJSBA LGBTQ Rights Section, will feature a thought-provoking panel of national experts, litigators and state policy innovators who will place these issues in a national context with important considerations under state law as well.
The panel will focus on the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization and its impact on the LGBTQ+ community with respect to bodily autonomy, access to reproductive and gender-affirming healthcare, privacy, marriage and family building. Further, the panel will discuss the potential impact of a pending U.S. Supreme Court case, U.S. v. Skrmetti, which may have broad consequence for transgender, non-binary and gender non-conforming people in New Jersey and nationally.
