UNLV Boyd OUTLaws

UNLV Boyd OUTLaws is a dedicated student organization at the William S. Boyd School of Law in Las Vegas, NV, committed to advancing legal education and advocacy around issues of sexuality, sexual orientation, gender identity, and queer theory within the legal profession. The organization programs and sponsors comprehensive educational events, informational seminars, and professional development opportunities designed to address the intersection of LGBTQ+ issues and legal practice.

Based at one of Nevada's most innovative law schools, OUTLaws leverages the Boyd School's exceptional facilities and resources to deliver meaningful programming. The organization benefits from the school's state-of-the-art William S. Boyd Hall, the Thomas and Mack Moot Court Facility, and the Wiener-Rogers Law Library—the most substantial collection of legal materials in the state. These resources enable OUTLaws to facilitate in-depth discussions, case simulations, and practical legal education experiences.

OUTLaws serves as a vital support network for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, non-gendered, questioning, and allied students pursuing legal careers in Las Vegas. The organization extends its impact beyond campus by providing legal information and philanthropic opportunities to the local community. Through strategic programming and community engagement, OUTLaws helps students develop the professional skills and ethical frameworks necessary to serve clients and communities effectively. The organization's work aligns with the Boyd School of Law's mission to educate ethical and effective lawyers and leaders prepared to address real-world challenges from the beginning of their legal careers.
