Public Utility Law Committee Activity in Review
As published in the NY Business Law Journal:
Winter 2012 NY Business Law Journal
Public Utility Law Committee
With the publication of Gregg Sayre’s January 2012 report (see
Committee Reports http://www.nysba.org/PULreports),
an era has come to an end. Gregg, who had undertaken the heroic
task of assembling and presenting a comprehensive report on cases
affecting the utility industry in New York for as long as anyone can
remember, has moved on to become a commissioner of the Public Service
Commission. Although we will miss Gregg and his work for the
Committee very much, we look forward to inviting him to address the
Committee as Commissioner Sayre in the near future.
The public Uitlity Committee is in the process of transitioning
to a new Board and exploring topics of interest for a 14th
Annual Institute on Public Utility Law likely to take place in May 2013.
We anticipate that it will include a full-day continuing legal education
course, with faculty from in-house corporate counsel, government
agencies and leading law fi rms. Curricula being explored involve the
latest developments in the areas of energy and telecommunication
regulation and practice, perhaps with an emphasis on ethical standards
expected of practitioners before the Commission.

Public Utility Law Committee
On May 17, 2011, the Public Utility Law Committee co-sponsored the
12th Annual Institute on Public Utility Law at the New York State Bar
Association in Albany, NY. The committee co-sponsored this full-day
continuing legal education course with the New York State Bar
Association’s Committee on Continuing Legal Education and the New
York Chapter of the Federal Communications Bar Association. The
Institute’s faculty included in-house corporate counsel,
government agencies and leading law firms. The curriculum included the
latest developments in the areas of energy and telecommunication
regulation and practice. It is the committee’s goal to continue to
monitor emerging trends in energy and telecommunication regulatory
affairs, utility ratemaking and related areas and to encourage its
members to present on these topics as developments occur.
