BASF, BALIF, NALP Gay & Lesbian Sensitive Contact Info

The BASF Equality Committee's subcommittee on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Issues, Bay Area Lawyers for Individual Freedom (BALIF) and the National Association of Law Placements (NALP) Committee on Gay/Lesbian/Bi Issues have compiled a list of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) -sensitive contacts at legal employers throughout the Bay Area.

The purpose of this list is to provide contacts for LGBT individuals first entering a law firm and to be a resource for future speaking and/or panel appearances on the topic of diversity within the work environment.

The participants in this list have agreed to have their names published on the Internet and possibly sent to law schools nationwide.

To add your name to the list below, please contact:
