The Supreme Court & Transgender Rights: What Just Happened, What's Next

This webinar will examine the U.S. Supreme Court’s decisions in West Virginia v. B.P.J. and Little v. Hecox, including what the rulings mean—and do not mean. Participants will explore the legal and practical decisions facing educational institutions, what judges need to understand about Title IX, sex discrimination, and transgender people, and the emerging issues that will shape the future of inclusive athletics. This webinar is being co-sponsored by the NAWJ LGBTQ and Juvenile Justice & Child Welfare Committees, ABA's Commission on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) and ABA Judicial Division's Standing Committee on Diversity in the Judiciary.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the United States Supreme Court decisions in West Virginia v. B.P.J. and Little v. Hecox, ruling that states can lawfully ban transgender women and girls from competing on female school sports teams. What do the decisions do and not do?
• What sorts of decision points do educational institutions face moving forward to be inclusive of all student athletes?
• What judges need to understand about Title IX, sex discrimination, and transgender people.
• What issues are on the horizon?
