Description: Join us for this popular annual program as our expert faculty provides practical guidance on filing and litigating requests under the federal Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Through the unique perspectives of both agency counsel and requester’s counsel, the panel explores the challenges that arise in FOIA litigation and demonstrate effective strategies for framing, submitting, and pursuing requests before federal agencies. You’ll gain insight into the application of FOIA exemptions, as well as the varying standards and procedures that govern FOIA cases in federal district courts.
Because FOIA litigation is highly specialized, this class focuses on the nuances of litigating FOIA cases, while also offering a brief overview of Privacy Act requests and related litigation. The class is designed for practitioners with minimal to moderate familiarity with FOIA, making it accessible to newcomers while still providing valuable takeaways for experienced attorneys.
