The Regulatory Drafting & Process Course is a two-day course designed for persons new to the regulatory field. Students will learn the fundamental legal and procedural requirements for rulemaking and how to write regulations that communicate clearly to the affected public. While the course is directed primarily to persons without legal training, the course has proven valuable to lawyers whose previous education has not focused on the rulemaking process or on rule drafting. The cost for this two-day course is $655.00. Group rates are available for three or more registrants.

Lawyers should inquire about CLE credit.
