REPLAY: Pronouns, Salutations and Gender-Neutral Language in the Legal System


July 24, Webinar

11:30 a.m. - 1:15 p.m.

1.7 EIJ


Join us for a webinar addressing the recent New Mexico Supreme Court Order regarding use of personal pronouns and salutations, and explore how that Order will impact rules of practice and procedure. In this session, attendees will dive into pronouns and gender-neutral language, learn how to implement gender-neutral language in their work, and understand that these changes can take a lot of practice. Using correct names and pronouns actually contributes to suicide prevention with trans and non-binary people and also requires a huge shift for most of us.

The New Mexico Lawyer Assistance Program (NM LAP)


Did you know that the NM LAP hosts free mocktail bars for legal community events?

The NM Lawyer Assistance Program (NM LAP) offers a delightful and sophisticated alternative to traditional alcoholic beverages by providing a mocktail bar at events. The mocktail bar features an array of creative, non-alcoholic drinks crafted by volunteer attorneys who act as the bar tenders. Each mocktail is designed to offer the same complexity and enjoyment as a traditional cocktail, but without the alcohol.



If you’re interested in inviting the LAP to come serve at your next event, call 505-420-8179 to learn more!
