NEW MEXICO LGBTQ+ BAR ASSOCIATION

The New Mexico LGBTQ+ Bar Association has nearly 80 active members. Members receive several benefits, including access to free CLE credits and opportunities to meet other LGBTQIA+-identifying lawyers, judges, and legal professionals.

We, as a voluntary bar association in the State of New Mexico, promote and protect the interests of all lawyers who identify as LGBTQIA plus to achieve their full participation in all rights, privileges, and benefits of the legal profession. We promote the efficient administration of justice and the constant improvement of the law, especially as it relates to LGBTQIA+ individuals. We advocate the selection of LGBTQIA+ individuals to the bench, bar, and other positions relative to the administration of the law and justice. We promote and advocate the representation and participation of LGBTQIA+ individuals in existing local and national bar associations, particularly to leadership positions. We promote and assist LGBTQIA+ individuals in their efforts to establish a career in the legal profession. We educate the public and disseminate information on issues related to LGBTQIA+ individuals’ participation in the legal and judicial system.

If you’re not a member, but would like to be one, please contact our Treasurer Greg Segura at nmlgbtqbarassn@gmail.com.
