The Law & Health Care Program at the University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law invites you to join us for the first spring event in the 2024/2025 Rothenberg Health Care Law and Policy Speaker Series, continuing a focus on discrimination in the health care system and how law and policy can reduce or remove these disparities. The event will be held at 4:30 p.m. April 9. (This is a rescheduled date.)
As our first speaker of the new year, we are excited to welcome the distinguished Anya Marino, JD ’12, chief strategic programs officer at Advocates for Trans Equality (A4TE) and founding director of the LGBTQI+ Equality Clinic at Maryland Carey Law, to discuss the important topic of sex and gender discrimination in health care.
Prior to joining A4TE, Marino served as the National Women’s Law Center’s director of LGBTQI Equality, taught Harvard Law School’s LGBTQ+ Advocacy Clinic, and served as deputy legal director for the ACLU of Florida. Throughout her career, her work has included representing the most marginalized and vulnerable members of the LGBTQ+ community, including transgender, nonbinary, and gender nonconforming people; LGBTQ+ people of color; LGBTQ+ youth; and LGBTQ+ people in Southern communities. In 2022, the National Hispanic Medical Association honored her as a trailblazer advancing LGBTQ+ health equality, and Liaison International honored her as one of seven women who shattered the glass ceiling in higher education. She earned her JD at Maryland Carey Law and is the law school’s 2022 Rising Star Award recipient.
