Friday will offer concurrent sessions with literally something for everyone!  Whether your interests are green development, controversial land uses, urban agriculture, water, eminent domain, housing for an aging population, subidivision and site plan review or mixed use development – the faculty will provide substantive take home value.  For those looking for more skills-based offerings, the course also features sessions on hiring and preparing an expert witness, quasi judicial hearings and ex parte communications, and demonstrative evidence.  The day will close with an interactive ethics session.

This is definately a “not to miss” educational program with a great networking opportunity for lawyers, planners and others involved in planning and zoning decision making.
