A Practical Guide to the Freedom of Information Act

Course Description


In today’s demand for governmental transparency by the press and others, the use of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) has overwhelmed local governments and has demanded a basic understanding of the Act at all levels of government.

Equally as important is to be clear on the exceptions to the Act and the penalties for non-compliance.

  •  The Act itself
  •  Compliance with the Act, the requestor and the law
