    Hello Family Law Section and Immigration Law Section members,

    The past few months have seen momentous developments in LGBT rights. No decisions were more than anticipated than Hollingsworth v. Perry and U.S. v. Winsdor, and their impact will be discussed for years to come. 
    • Developments happen daily
    • The IRS is now allowing same sex couples to file jointly
    • Same sex spouses of veterans may now file for benefits
    • More changes are expected, both on the state and federal level
    Register today to keep abreast of the latest developments and make plans to attend this 4th annual seminar, cosponsored by the LGBT Section, to learn everything you need to know about unique concerns of LGBT clients. You will walk away with both tools and knowledge to properly handle LGBT matters. 

    Pick up essential strategies and practice tips for handling LGBT specific concerns in your practice, including:
    • Overview of Windsor, GSE, etc. 
    • Can taxes possibly get more complicated? 
    • What is happening with my benefits? The ever changing world of insurance, pensions, and retirement plans
    • Aging Issues in LGBT Law 
    • LGBT Families and the Social Security Administration

    Yes, there will be CDs available about 2 weeks after the program and you can get CLE credit from the CDs. The program will also be recorded, so it will be available as an On-Demand program at some point (credits are good from the recording too). Both options include the materials.
    All the best,
    Barb
