FOIL: The Freedom of Information Act (2011)

This program reviews developments in the Freedom of Information and Open Meetings Laws, with a focus on recent amendments and case law, as well as issues relating to information technology.  Examples of ethical considerations and fundamental fairness are referenced in the discussion of the basis for denying access to records and excluding the public from meetings.

The program speaker is Robert J. Freeman, Esq., Executive Director of the New York State Committee on Open Government. Mr. Freeman has addressed numerous government-related organizations, bar associations, and media groups and has lectured at various colleges and universities.  He has also spoken on open government laws and concepts throughout the United States, as well as in Canada, the Far East, Latin America and Eastern Europe, and has taught the only course in an American law school on public access to government information.
