For many lawyers, arguing your case before a judge is second nature. But what if you’re representing the interests of a client before a city council, county commission, planning commission, legislative committee or some other board? Making your case before a governmental board, often comprised of elected officials, where many or most of the members have no legal training, can require a completely different skill set. Hear the best and worst from this panel with years of experience on, before, and serving governmental boards.
