Michigan Law OUTlaws

MLaw's LGBTQ+ Student Organization Since 1980

Pro Bono Opportunities:
OUTreach

OUTlaws, the Jim Toy Community Center, Legal Services of South Central Michigan, and local volunteer attorneys operate a pro bono clinic that serves that greater Ann Arbor LGBTQ+ community.

Students work with clients on issues such as name and gender marker changes on drivers licenses, divorce, adoption, child custody, birth certificate amendments, trans/non-binary safety, and expungements. Additionally, student attorneys will create educational materials to inform LGBTQ+ people of their rights in areas of particular concern.

We currently have weekly office hours from 6-8 pm on Wednesdays - please reach out to us to find out more about how to get involved!

Community members seeking legal assistance can find more information here.
