University Of Arkansas Law School Promoted ‘Name And Gender Change’ Pro Bono Session

The University of Arkansas School of Law promoted a free “name and gender correction” pro bono session on Thursday that involved law students helping out.

The law school said the event would provide “free legal assistance” to people who wanted to change their legal name and gender designation.

Trans-identifying people often legally change their name and gender on their government documents — a man who identifies as a woman might change his gender to “female” and his name to “Sarah,” which would show up on his driver’s license, for example.

The event was scheduled for 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Thursday at the Fayetteville Public Library and was hosted by Legal Aid of Arkansas, a nonprofit that provides free legal aid to low-income people.

“Volunteer law students and local attorneys will provide free legal assistance to those seeking name or gender marker changes. This event is open to the public,” the school posted on Facebook.

In the comments of the post, people expressed interest in taking advantage of the free legal services.

“What all is required for a name or gender change? I would love to come and change my name,” someone commented.

“I was wondering the same thing,” wrote someone else.

The law school said the event was part of “Pro Bono Week.”

Law students often offer their services for free to people who cannot afford representation because it gives the students real-world experience practicing law.

The University of Arkansas School of Law celebrates students who do many hours of pro bono work.

On Wednesday, students who had completed the most pro bono hours were treated to “Dessert with the Dean” to “celebrate their contributions to the law school and the community,” the school posted on Facebook.

Arkansas is one of the country’s more conservative states — about 42% of adults identify as conservative, according to Pew Research.

The University of Arkansas is the state’s flagship school, and it receives hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars in state and federal funding every year.

Tuition is nearly $40,000 a year for an out-of-state student and nearly $18,000 a year for an Arkansas resident.

Gender ideology exploded as a controversial issue several years ago and it has continued to loom large this election cycle.

Conservatives have pushed back on medicalizing children with gender dysphoria with drugs like puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones or surgeries like double mastectomies and genital surgeries.

At least 24 states, including Arkansas, have banned these treatments for minors. Arkansas’ ban on gender procedures for minors was struck down by a federal judge last year.
