Colorado Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transgender Bar Association

GLBT BAR

About Us

 

Our Mission:

The Colorado Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transgender ("GLBT") Bar Association is a voluntary professional association of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender attorneys, judges, paralegals and law students and allies who provide a GLBT presence within Colorado's legal community. Read about our many activities in our 2008 Welcome Letter. Start or renew your membership: download a 2008 Membership Form.

 

Our Events and Activities:

Each quarter the Colorado GLBT Bar association hosts some fabulous social events. For a complete schedule of upcoming events, seminars and CLEs of interest please click on the calendar section.

JOIN US for our "Getting Benched" Program with Judge Gilbert Roman of the Colorado Court of Appeals and Trey Rogers, Chief Counsel to Governor Ritter, on JULY 8, 2008 @ 8AM at Holland & Hart. The Colorado Specialty Bar Associations (Sam Cary, GLBT Bar, APABA, CIBA, CHBA and CWBA) have joined together to support our mutual efforts to increase the diversity of the Colorado judiciary and make our bench better mirror all Coloradoans. We are preparing joint resolutions, engaging in dialog with key decision makers, and working to encourage our members to apply to fill judicial vacancies. There are two upcoming vacancies on the Colorado Court of Appeals and we would very much like to support diverse candidates for these positions. We need you to apply! To learn more about the process and explore any potential interest in judicial service, please join the Colorado Specialty Bar Coalition for a breakfast discussion with Judge Gilbert Román, who has agreed to share his thoughts and experiences with our group before the July 18 application deadline. Please RSVP to Jennifer Weddle, information below.

Our Purpose:

· Promote the recognition of human and civil rights.

· Provide opportunities for attorneys, judges and law students to interact in a professional setting.

· Build alliances with other minority bar associations and legal organizations.

· Enhance the practice and professional expertise of lawyers who are members of the LGBT Community.

· Promote sensitivity to legal issues faced by members of the GLBT Community.

· Assure fair and just treatment of members of the GLBT Community.

 

Law Student Outreach:

The Colorado GLBT Bar Association holds and sponsors educational and career events at both the University of Denver and the University of Colorado and runs a mentor/mentee program for law students.  Law students are encouraged to join the Colorado GLBT Bar Association at a special student rate.
