On July 13, Professor Carrie Hagan presented a paper on "Marginalizing Discrimination: How Social Justice, Advocacy and LGBT Awareness on a Clinical Level Can Make Equality More of a Reality," at the 6th Global Alliance for Justice Education Worldwide Conference in Valencia, Spain. The conference, which hosts approximately 285 delegates from 43 countries, this year was held in partnership with the 9th International Journal of Clinical Legal Education Conference. It was hosted by the Institute of Human Rights, Faculty of Law, University of Valencia. The conference is an opportunity for law teachers, law students, legal practitioners, jurists and social activists to acquire new ideas, models, and skills for the use of education to promote social justice.
Professor Hagan's talk points out that clinical students, through training regarding LGBT issues, can make a difference for a vulnerable population that may not otherwise obtain assistance.
