Requesting public information is simple. But what do you do when your Public Information Act request addressed to a law enforcement or prosecutorial agency results in a response that the records you’re seeking are exempt from disclosure? This CLE program will address why some records aren’t subject to release, best practices for when and how to make successful PIA requests for law enforcement and prosecution records, and alternative methods of obtaining information. This course will also discuss some best practice tips for responding to criminal discovery.
