What Does Making It Mean to You?
Whether it’s making a future with your partner or making the grade at school, Lambda Legal leads the fight so all of us can live our lives and pursue our dreams without having to face barriers because we’re gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender or have HIV. Learn more about Lambda Legal’s work.
Lambda Legal carries out its legal work principally through test cases selected for the likelihood of their success in establishing positive legal precedents that will affect lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, transgender people and those with HIV. From our offices in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta and Dallas, Lambda Legal’s staff of attorneys work on a wide range of cases, with our docket averaging over 50 cases at any given time.
Lambda Legal also maintains a national network of volunteer Cooperating Attorneys, which widens the scope of our legal work and allows attorneys, legal workers and law students to become involved in our program by working with our legal staff.
