FACC Webinar: Public Records Case Law
Registration ends March 16, 2021.
Via GoToTraining
Frequently, courts are called on to determine the appropriate application of Florida’s public records laws when the text of a statute does not provide a clear answer. Public records cases are litigated in Florida’s trial courts every day, and some result in decisions from higher courts that give meaning and contour to those statutes. Many of these decisions help to guide lawful and appropriate responses to future public records requests by providing clarity and predictability when similar factual circumstances present themselves. On the other hand, some decisions create confusion and unpredictability. In both cases, municipal clerks must be aware of the present state of the case law in order to effectively discharge their duties as records custodians. This webinar discusses the most important decisions recently issued by Florida courts in the area of public records law and how those decisions will affect municipal clerks moving forward.
