Southwestern Offers Pioneering Slate of Courses Exploring Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Law

Southwestern Law School, in partnership with The Williams Institute at UCLA, is excited to offer summer classes focusing on sexual orientation and gender identity law.

Prof. Heilman invites you to join us for our Sexual Orientation & Gender Identity Law Summer Program
