The New England First Amendment Coalition is continuing its introductory series on public record laws with new classes on the appeal process for individual states and the federal Freedom of Information Act.
The classes will feature a local attorney or open government expert who will explain how to appeal a public records request denial and provide tips on how to obtain records when an agency claims they are exempt from disclosure.
This latest round of classes will be provided by NEFAC with support from the Society of Professional Journalists Foundation, SPJ New England, MuckRock, and the New England Society of News Editors.
Previous lessons can be viewed on NEFAC’s YouTube channel (http://www.youtube.com/c/fivefreedoms) or through its new multimedia FOI Guide (http://www.nefac.org/foiguide). It is recommended that these lessons are viewed prior to attending the new classes.
Registration is free and open to all members of the public.
