Transgender People, Intimate Partner Violence, and the Legal System

Transgender persons subjected to abuse have not been the focus of legal scholarship; this dearth of legal scholarship is not surprising given how little research exists on the experience of transgender people who have experienced intimate partner violence. Leigh Goodmark’s article, "Transgender People, Intimate Partner Abuse, and the Legal System," is the first law review article to concentrate specifically on intimate partner abuse and the transgender community. In this webinar, Leigh Goodmark presents this research, and Terra Slavin and michael munson comment on critical analysis in the article and reflect its utility for practitioners and victims.
