FERNDALE – The Queer Legal Project will present its first ever Name Change Clinic on March 5 at Affirmations. The Name Change Clinic will provide attendees with all the skills and resources needed to legally change their name in Michigan.
The clinic will address the legal needs of the LGBT community, especially the trans community, who often times do not have access to competent legal advice. During the presentation, organizers will walk through the process of changing one's name and will provide printed materials of all the forms necessary so participants can follow along. The presentation will be followed by a Q&A session for follow up questions about the process.
This is the first legal clinic for QLP, who hopes to continue these clinics on a regular basis, based on interest and support of the LGBT community.
The Queer Legal Project will begin at 1 p.m. March 5 at Affirmations. For more information visit the Facebook event page at https://www.facebook.com/events/820593164716356/.
Affirmations is located at 290 West 9 Mile Road in Ferndale.
