Administrative Law and Agency Practice Section Presents a Brown Bag Program

 

Implementing the Data Quality Act

 

In 2001, Congress passed the Data Quality Act as a rider to an appropriations bill.  The one sentence law requires agencies to establish processes to ensure and maximize the quality, objectivity, utility, and integrity of the information they disseminate.  Petitioners are now using the law to challenge a wide range of agency actions.  This balanced panel discussion will include proponents and opponents of the law, as well as Office of Management and Budget officials charged with its implementation.

Dear Section Member:

 

To help us continue to plan the most relevant and useful programs for our members, we are asking Section members to take a few minutes to answer a very short (10 question) online survey.

 

The survey asks for very basic information about the nature of our members' law practice and the types of Bar programs that they are interested in attending.

 

The survey is available on the Section's website, at

http://www.dcbar.org/for_lawyers/sections/administrative_law_and_agency_practice/adminSurvey.cfm

 

You can fill out the survey at any time and you do not have to leave your name.

 

However, as a friendly way of encouraging participation, we will be awarding a $5 discount to any future Administrative Law and Agency Practice Section program for each member who responds by 1/31/06 and leaves her or his contact information in response to Question 10.

 

Thank you very much for your assistance!

 

Best regards,

 

Your Administrative Law and Agency Practice Section Steering Committee.
