Issues affecting the freedoms of the LGBTQ+ community are at stake in elections, legislation, and judicial decisions in jurisdictions across the United States. In a host of courses and as part of Harvard Law School’s LGBTQ+ Advocacy Clinic, students study about and work on cutting-edge issues involving LGBTQ+ rights, including impact litigation, amicus work, and legislative and policy advocacy.
