From City Hall to the Courthouse: Navigating Quasi-Judicial and Administrative Decisions (2024 Zoning, Planning & Land Use Section Program)


Although large, legislative projects like rezonings may be more likely to grab local headlines, quasi-judicial and administrative matters continue to receive the lion's share of judicial attention.

This year's program focuses on these types of zoning decisions and offers updates, reminders, and a series of "best practices" informed by the recent case law and practical experience.

Learn from local government and private sector attorneys about the framework for quasi-judicial and administrative decisions and how to more effectively address the variety of issues that arise in these proceedings and their appeals to Superior Court.

Additionally, the program includes a welcome refresher on the attorney-client privilege as it relates to the many facets of a land use and zoning practice, as well as the annual planning and zoning legislative and case law update.
