B&D Principal Dan Schulson (Washington, DC) will present an American Law Institute Continuing Legal Education (ALI CLE) webinar titled "Effective Commenting in the Rulemaking Process: Tips for Strategic Advocacy." The webcast will take place on August 26, 2020, from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. ET. 

Attendees will learn how to submit effective and persuasive comments and will gain insight into how agencies consider and respond to comments as they develop final rules. The presenters will provide balanced perspectives on the “nuts and bolts” of commenting, what kinds of arguments are considered persuasive, how to build the record, and what you need to do in anticipation of litigation that could follow. Topics will include:

• Strategy: How to plan, research, and gather relevant data to support your argument
• How to say it: Organizing comments and what to say in them
• Other avenues to consider in presenting your views to the agency
• Legal issues that inform the agency’s consideration of comments and its development of the final rule

CLE credit will be available. For more information, and to register, please see ALI CLE's website.
