Students will contact people the project worked with during the 2023-2024 academic year who have already filed their petition to change their name and gender marker. Lead Student Counselors (LSCs) will draft motions to change the orders requested or to issue new orders depending on the needs of the applicants. These motions will make it possible for past applicants to obtain the best possible benefit from the clinic under new agency policies that were adopted after the applicants received initial services from the clinic.
