In a strong show of New York state’s support for its False Claims Act, today New York State Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman announced a CLE-certified conference on the strengthened New York False Claims Act.
The conference will take place on June 8, 2011 at New York University Law School, and is open to everyone who registers in advance. For complete details please see the /files/116785-109034/Syllabus_for_Qui_Tam_Conference___New_York.pdf”>Speakers at the conference include leading national qui tam attorneys, as well as the leading affirmative civil enforcement folks from the New York AG’s office. I am quite sorry I will have to miss it, as I have a previous commitment that day. This is going to be an outstanding seminar folks!
We had a similar program in Virginia in 2008, with great success. We didn’t charge for the event, which was held at the Virginia OAG, and about 100 lawyers attended. The materials I prepared for the 2008 conference were also the basis for my ebook on the Virginia Fraud Against Taxpayers Act.
Hopefully this will just be first of many future New York state conferences, and I hope also that we will be able to have a second conference in Richmond either this year or next year to cover our new and improved Virginia Fraud Against Taxpayers Act.
Extra special thanks to the folks in New York for their thought leadership!
