Pepper Hamilton is sponsoring the 2016 MLRC Media Law Conference taking place in Reston, VA from September 21-23, 2016.
This year’s conference will feature plenaries commemorating the 25th anniversary of the Rodney King case - looking at both the copyright/fairuse/First Amendment and police/press aspects; a Fred Friendly hypothetical case program starring Washington insiders on the eve of the election; a panel of once active MLRC members who are now federal judges; Floyd Abrams talking about his new book, "Why the First Amendment Matters"; as well as a rousing game of Family Feud: Journalism Edition; and a twist on the Next Big Thing, looking at the hits and misses of NBT sessions of the last ten years. The conference will also provide the usual timely and topical breakouts and boutiques.
Terry L. Mutchler, of counsel with Pepper Hamilton, will be speaking on the panel titled “FOIA & BodyCams” at 4:15 PM on Wednesday, September 21.
The Media Law Conference consists of more than 15 hours of substantive programming. MLRC is arranging for CLE credits. Credits issued will be based upon verified attendance and applicable state rules.
