<p>The University of Arkansas School of Law promoted a free &#8220;name and gender correction&#8221; pro bono session on Thursday that involved law students helping out.</p>
<p>The law school said the event would provide &#8220;free legal assistance&#8221; to people who wanted to change their legal name and gender designation.</p>
<p>Trans-identifying people often legally change their name and gender on their government documents — a man who identifies as a woman might change his gender to &#8220;female&#8221; and his name to &#8220;Sarah,&#8221; which would show up on his driver&#8217;s license, for example.</p>
<p>The event was scheduled for 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Thursday at the Fayetteville Public Library and was hosted by Legal Aid of Arkansas, a nonprofit that provides free legal aid to low-income people.</p>
<p>&#8220;Volunteer law students and local attorneys will provide free legal assistance to those seeking name or gender marker changes. This event is open to the public,&#8221; the school <a href="https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1456625425284725&amp;id=100028118456460&amp;rdid=arPdSghpy9CEewTj" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posted</a> on Facebook.</p>

<p>In the comments of the post, people expressed interest in taking advantage of the free legal services.</p>
<p>&#8220;What all is required for a name or gender change? I would love to come and change my name,&#8221; someone commented.</p>
<p>&#8220;I was wondering the same thing,&#8221; wrote someone else.</p>
<p>The law school said the event was part of &#8220;Pro Bono Week.&#8221;</p>
<p>Law students often offer their services for free to people who cannot afford representation because it gives the students real-world experience practicing law.</p>
<p>The University of Arkansas School of Law celebrates students who do many hours of pro bono work.</p>
<p>On Wednesday, students who had completed the most pro bono hours were treated to “Dessert with the Dean&#8221; to &#8220;celebrate their contributions to the law school and the community,&#8221; the school posted on Facebook.</p>
<p>Arkansas is one of the country&#8217;s <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/religious-landscape-study/database/compare/political-ideology/by/state/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">more</a> conservative states — about 42% of adults identify as conservative, according to Pew Research.</p>

<p>The University of Arkansas is the state&#8217;s flagship school, and it <a href="https://financial-affairs.uark.edu/PDFs/2022annualrept.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">receives</a> hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars in state and federal funding every year.</p>
<p>Tuition is nearly $40,000 a year for an out-of-state student and nearly $18,000 a year for an Arkansas resident.</p>
<p>Gender ideology exploded as a controversial issue several years ago and it has continued to loom large this election cycle.</p>
<p>Conservatives have pushed back on medicalizing children with gender dysphoria with drugs like puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones or surgeries like double mastectomies and genital surgeries.</p>
<p>At least 24 states, including Arkansas, have <a href="https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/articles/2023-03-30/what-is-gender-affirming-care-and-which-states-have-restricted-it-in-2023" target="_blank" rel="noopener">banned</a> these treatments for minors. Arkansas&#8217; ban on gender procedures for minors was struck down by a federal judge last year.</p>
