Branching Out: Introduction to State and Local False Claims Act Practice

June 13, 2 PM EDT

This webinar is designed for attorneys interested in learning more about the nuts and bolts of state and local government False Claims Act (FCA) cases. Like the federal statute they are modeled after, state and local FCAs provide government entities with powerful tools for addressing fraud on the public fisc. Attendees will gain insights into the broad scope of FCA practice, the central role played by relators (also known as qui tams ) in bringing fraud to the government's attention, and how state and local entities have adapted the federal template to serve their jurisdictions.

Co-Sponsor: Standing Committee on Continuing Legal Education

The webinar will cover three topics, with the majority of our time spent on the second and third topics - the Federal FCA Template, State and Municipal Statutes, and State and Local Case Studies.
