Lambda Legal describes itself as "a national organization committed to achieving full recognition of the civil rights of lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, transgender people and those with HIV through impact litigation, education and public policy work."

Their bimonthly eNewsletter Of Counsel is a must-read for anyone who needs to keep up-to-date on the litigation strategies being implemented by the group. Whether you agree or disagree, this is a great way to keep informed.

Today's issue includes articles on using common law strategies in states that do not have statutes prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, anti-gay harassment, comments on Supreme Court Justice-nominee Samuel Alito, an update on Jespersen v. Harrah's Casino, HIV discrimination, and more.
