Description

The Government Law Center at Albany Law School is pleased to announce the first seminar of the 2022 Warren M. Anderson Series. The Anderson Series is free and open to the public.   

On Feb. 10, 2022 our panelists discussed ethics reform. While there has been significant public criticism of JCOPE, the state's current ethics commission, there have been differences as to exactly what is seen as its failings and what should be done to correct them.   

This program explored these questions and examined proposals to make changes that would enhance government ethics throughout our state government.  

Moderator: 

Richard Rifkin, Legal Director, Government Law Center  

Panelists: 

Elizabeth Fine - General Counsel to the Governor 

Evan A. Davis - Senior Counsel, Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP 

Seth H. Agata - Executive Director and Counsel, Police Benevolent Association of New York State  

Held monthly from February through May, the Warren M. Anderson programs feature experts who address major legal and policy issues pending before New York State government.
