On Friday October 1, at 3:55 Central Time, IMLA will be presenting a program for communities large and small that will help them recover costs and expenses in situations where they have damage claims. The program on "Affirmative Litigation" discusses many of the suits currently pending where local governments have a cause of action. IMLA's Affirmative Litigation Group meets regularly to discuss these cases and emerging issues where communities can join to recover their damages. You still have time to sign up for either the in-person or the virtual program. I'm looking forward to it based on this description: "This presentation will go over the current trends in affirmative litigation and discuss what subject areas are gaining momentum. The presentation will also discuss how can in house law departments and their law firm partners work together on creative and innovative approaches to pursue worthy litigation."
