Congressional Investigations 101 for Higher-Ed Institutions
April 10, 2024
O’Melveny hosted a virtual CLE webinar to discuss unique features of congressional investigation defense, including:
- What are the typical goals of these inquiries?
- How do these investigations differ from litigation?
- What rules do (or do not) apply to congressional investigators?
- What competing interests must organizations weigh when deciding how to cooperate?
- What are key Do’s and Don’ts for responding to requests from Congress?
Our expert panel examined this specialized and dynamic practice area—with a focus on how colleges and universities should think about strategy for addressing increased congressional scrutiny.
The team also provided important insights into the strategic considerations for navigating these types of engagements with Congress.
If you have any questions about the topics discussed in the session, please feel free to get in touch with the webinar presenters: K. Lee Blalack II, Amanda M. Santella, and Jennifer B. Sokoler.
