Membership FAQ
Why become a member?
Every member who joins Q Law grows our capacity to carry out our Mission. We are stronger united and growing numbers mean more influence we may exercise on behalf of LGBTQ+ New Jersey residents. Need more of a reason? You will also have exclusive access to network among fellow Q Law members, mentorship, voting rights to direct the future of the organization, and other privileges and benefits as they become available with the Organization's growth.
Who may become a member?
Q Law is open to all genders and all sexual orientations, regardless of residency, as long as you are committed to our Mission and you have a "professional relationship" to the legal field, what ever that may look like. Some examples of legal professionals include: licensed attorneys; law clerks; judiciary employees; professors of law; paralegals; legal secretaries; legislative aides; law librarians; those currently enrolled in a law school or a masters or doctorate program related to the legal field; recent graduates (less than two years) of such a program related to the legal field; retirees after 15 years of professional work in the legal field.​​ For more information about membership, please see our Bylaws.
Why do students pay for membership?
Written into the structure of Q Law's Bylaws, students who meet our membership requirements are equal members of Q Law. Unlike other bar associations, this means students have equal voting and membership rights within Q Law and will have just as much a say as attorney members in driving the organization's activities. We know it is tough to be a student, but paying these dues shows your commitment to us as we hope to show to you.
