Essential Hour: Conflicts of Interest 101

California’s public ethics laws often impact local agencies in diverse or unique ways. In this webinar for new public agency lawyers, gain a broad overview of the conflicts of interest laws that local agency counsels routinely navigate. With practice tips to demystify the Political Reform Act, Government Code Section 1090, the Common Law Conflicts Doctrine, incompatible offices and activities, mass mailing restrictions, and more, this Essential Hour program should not be missed. The webinar is based on A Guide for Local Agency Counsel: Providing Conflicts of Interest Advice, created by the FPPC Committee of Cal Cities’ City Attorneys Department.
