Content
The March 16, 2010 panel will provide an overview of the various types of administrative agencies in Connecticut. Panelists will summarize the structure, composition, procedures, areas of responsibilities, jurisdiction and powers under Connecticut statutes and regulations. Since the second and third panels of this program series will specifically discuss substantive agency decisions and court cases, they are asking that the March 16, 2010 panelists refrain from presenting on such substantive matters.
Format
The panel discussion will begin with a brief statement about the program by the moderator and cosponsoring law school newspaper representative followed by a short introduction of each panelist (10-12 minutes). Each panelist will be allotted 12-15 minutes to provide an overview of the administrative agency related to their respective areas of expertise.
