Each year, the LGBT Bar Association recognizes LGBT professionals under the age of 40 who have distinguished themselves in their field and have demonstrated a profound commitment to LGBTQ equality.
Staff attorney for Legal Services of South Central Michigan's Washtenaw County Office, Kerene Moore, is one of 40 awardees in the country to be recognized at the Lavender Law Conference and Career Fair on Aug. 5 in Washington, D.C.
Moore is vice president of the Jim Toy Community Center, and director of its LGBT Know Your Rights Project, a collaborative work of the JTCC, Outlaws of the University of Michigan Law School, Legal Services of S. Central Michigan and local volunteer attorneys.
The Project's goal is to provide free, LGBT-centered legal support, including advice and referrals for representation, to individuals across the state of Michigan. Also, to provide legal consultations via phone, email, or in-person, and cover a variety of practice areas including custody, divorce, adoption, estate matters, name changes, gender marker corrections, public benefits, expungement, and more.
