Partner William Fish, Jr. will be speaking at the New England First Amendment Coalition’s continuing series on state open meeting laws, with new classes on public commentary. From the NEFAC:
The classes will feature a local attorney who will explain their respective state law on public comments during open meetings. Each class will address common challenges to the public’s right to speak at open meetings and will help clarify when and how government officials can restrict the speech of those in attendance.
This latest round of classes will be provided by NEFAC with support from the Society of Professional Journalists Foundation, SPJ New England, the Rhode Island Foundation and the New England Society of News Editors.
