    Fabulous FOIA Fifty: Practical Litigation Applications for the Freedom of Information Act ECR251015
    Webinar - CLE Pass Eligible
    Wednesday, Oct 15 3:00 PM to 4:30 PM (Eastern Daylight Time)

    Connecticut’s Freedom of Information Act was signed into law by then Governor Ella Grasso in 1975. Transparency in government increases both accountability and credibility and benefits both the government and those governed, ideally anyway. In Connecticut, transparency is not just a lofty goal, it has a structure, namely FOIA. In this golden anniversary year, we can celebrate the goal of open government, transparency, accountability, and sunshine being the best disinfectant. Please join us for this 90-minute webinar as we hear from three professionals who all interact with this framework to do their jobs. We will hear about the nuts and bolts of the process from Russell Blair of the Freedom of Information Commission and hear both Attorney Kevin Smith and investigative journalist David Altimari share practical applications of the FOIA to real world situations. The webinar ends with a question-and-answer period.
