Parliamentary Procedure for Government Lawyers
State Bar of Wisconsin Center
January 18, 2012
12:30 p.m. – 4:30 p.m.
This program will cover parliamentary procedure rules for meetings of
government entities, boards, and committees including Robert's Rules
of Order and other parliamentary procedure rules. Presenters will
address the interplay between such rules and other procedural
requirements like the open meetings law. Presenters will also provide
practical advice on how to train people running such meetings to follow
the appropriate rules. This seminar will be of interest to anyone
representing a government body at all levels of government and
anyone who is a chairperson or member of a government body.
Parliamentary procedure at meetings is something we all deal with at
meetings of governmental bodies, but there's very little case or
other guidance on how to interpret the rules. More
