Restore Honor, Restore Dignity:
Updating Veteran Certificates
Co-Sponsored by SOGI and OUTSERVE
This free webinar program will train attorneys on how to help LGBT veterans—transgender veterans in changing the name and gender marker on their military records, and LGB veterans who were discharged under Don’t Ask Don’t Tell and prior policies in removing the offensive evidence of those policies from their discharge paperwork.
Currently, there is no publicly available guidance from the Department of Defense on how to update your information in the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) and on the DD214 Military Discharge Record.
This program is part of ABA President Linda Klein’s veteran’s service projects.
Panelists:
- Peter Perkowski, Counsel, OutServe-SLDN, Inc.
- Deana Cairo, Partner, Tucker Ellis LLP
- Stephen Lessard, Senior Associate, Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP
