In: Harvard Civil Rights-Civil Liberties Law Review, 2013, 48(1): 51-104Summary: The unique experiences of transgender persons subjected to abuse have not been the focus of legal scholarship; instead, the experiences of transgender people are often subsumed in the broader discourse around domestic violence in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community. This dearth of legal scholarship is not surprising given how little research of any kind exists on how transgender people experience intimate partner abuse. This is the first law review article to concentrate specifically on intimate partner abuse and the transgender community. (from the author's abstract).
In the webinar, Terra Slavin (Battered Women's Justice Project) and Michael Munson comment on critical analysis in the article and reflect on the utility of Leigh’s offerings for practitioners and victims. Record #4687
