Using FOIA in 2010
How to use the Freedom of Information Act – especially important because of the revisions that will take effect Jan. 1 – will be the topic of the eighth annual First Amendment Forum at 3 p.m.. Wednesday, Nov. 4 at IIT-Chicago Kent College of Law's Judge Abraham Lincoln Marovitz Courtroom, 565 W. Adams St. (between Clinton and Jefferson streets).
Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan, who led the drive to open more government records, will address the forum. Her FOIA specialists will explain the details of the revisions.
IIT-Chicago-Kent’s new Center for Open Government will be the host. Sponsors include the Chicago Headline Club, Chicago Journalists Association and International Press Club of Chicago, all the long-time co-sponsors of the annual forum.
All journalists and the general public are invited to attend the forum because of its importance to everyone. It is free and will last approximately two hours.
