Equality Florida

Equality Florida is the state’s largest civil rights organization dedicated to advancing equality for Florida’s lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community. Law students will assist Public Policy Director Jon Harris Maurer with legal and policy research to address critical issues for the LGBT community. Student responsibilities may include supporting active or anticipated litigation, researching and writing regarding state and local legislation or ordinances, and analyzing recent developments on legal issues important to the LGBT population.  The volume and nature of work fluctuates throughout the year, with particular need for support tied to Florida’s legislative session.
