Description: Some might say whistleblowers are the lifeblood of government transparency. But, how, as attorneys, do you best represent those who wish to expose alleged wrongdoing of their employer? Where do you take them? What if the information is classified and against the law to reveal, even to you as the attorney? What is the difference between leaking and whistleblowing? Can government agencies bar whistleblowing through non-disclosure agreements or policies? What significant legal differences exist between protecting a whistleblower's security clearance and other forms of reprisal?
Those who attend will learn how best to handle whistleblower cases from distinguished experts with years of practical experience from within and outside the federal government. The panel will explore the applicable laws and provide practical anecdotes from various whistleblower scenarios and cases.
