Branching Out: Introduction to State and Local False Claims Act Practice
June 13 | 2:00 PM EDT
This webinar is designed for attorneys interested in learning more about the nuts and bolts of state and local government False Claims Act (FCA) cases. Like the federal statute they are modeled after, state and local FCAs provide government entities with powerful tools for addressing fraud on the public fisc. Attendees will gain insights into the broad scope of FCA practice, the central role played by relators (also known as qui tams) in bringing fraud to the government's attention, and how state and local entities have adapted the federal template to serve their jurisdictions.
The American Bar Association Section of State and Local Government Law (SLG) has created a new initiative, Defending Democracy, which focuses on state and local election administrators and their work as they defend and ensure our democratic process on the frontlines.
Florida Bar regulators have stated that attorneys will not receive Florida credit for any ABA program, even if they self-apply; speakers will not receive Florida credit for their participation in our programs; and, self-application forms submitted by attendees or speakers will not be approved.
Programs approved by Florida prior to the Florida Supreme Court Order SC 21-28 remain approved for Florida credit.
