Registration is now open on the MCLE website! Please join us in-person or virtually for this upcoming MCLE conference co-sponsored by MMLA along with the Massachusetts Municipal Association! We are especially honored to have Lt. Governor Driscoll attending the conference this year as our keynote speaker. She is a former member of the MMLA, served as City Solicitor for Salem and was the Salem Mayor before becoming the Lieutenant Governor.  Please make every effort to attend the conference in person so we can have a strong in-person showing for our former colleague.  She is one of the highest ranking state officials to attend one of our conferences; AG Scott Harsbarger was the first!

Lawyers who represent and advise our cities, towns, or other public sector clients encounter complex, multi-disciplinary questions daily, ranging from A (affirmative litigation) to Z (zoning). The breadth and depth of legal competence required of the public sector attorney can be staggering. Similarly, attorneys who represent private clients in their dealings with local government are working in an ever-changing legal framework and are challenged to keep abreast of the rapidly evolving legal landscape. Get the latest essential updates and developments from the legislature, government regulators, and courts. The accelerating rate of change in municipal law makes this Conference indispensable to those who work in and with the public sector. Learn how your counterparts across the Commonwealth are navigating the latest legal challenges in the municipal arena!
