March 2025 Name Change Clinic

About the Clinic

On March 12, 2025 we held our first free legal clinic for 18-26 year olds to support with name changes, record restriction, and credit health at the GSU College of Law. We served 12 young people (11 for name changes and 1 for record restriction). Most of our clients were BIPOC and LGBTQIA2S+ young people and most were housing unstable.

This clinic comes at a crucial time for LGBTQIA2S+ young people and non-profits who support them. As governments, both state and federal are stripping rights away from, dehumanizing, and erasing LGBTQIA2S+ youth and young people, we stand strong in our commitment to keep centering and serving this population.

Thank you to our GSU law student volunteers, our intern Liz Kufour, and our supervising attorneys: Alex Eichenbaum, Faryn Christie, and Prof. Cortney Lollar. And to the GSU College of Law and Center for Access to Justice for hosting and supporting.

Stay tuned for our next clinic, which will be coming up in July. If you need name change, record restriction, or credit health support more immediately, please text or call our intake line on 404-436-0873 or send us an email at hi@slcy.org
