10:45 – 11:30 Advising Clients in Times of Crisis
(0.75 Professional Responsibility MCLE)
Municipal attorneys aren't strangers to being thrown into legal advising on topics they have never been involved in before; often on issues that come up in relation to public crises. How should the attorney respond in these situations when time is of the essence? Local Government lawyers Julie Tappendorf and Steve Elrod will team up once again to use real examples and personal experiences to provide guidance on dealing with such emergencies and crises as natural disasters, mass shootings (including specifically the recent mass shooting in Highland Park), the COVID pandemic, and protests and riots.

2:15 – 3:00 The Questions Keep Coming: Hot Issues with FOIA and OMA
Contentious issues involving the Freedom of Information and Open Meetings Act can somedays feel like the “Municipal Attorneys Full Employment Act.” Questions such as those about personnel records, police videos, texts by elected officials, social media posts, unduly as well as not unduly but still tremendously burdensome requests, and remote meetings continue to pop up in our daily practices. This session will be devoted to addressing some of the more sticky and recurring sunshine law issues and the latest developments in those areas. Bring your questions and examples to share.
