Statewide Events Hosted at Albany Law School

TWO EVENTS WITH A STATEWIDE REACH were held at Albany Law School last fall. On September 22, 2022, the annual Fair Trial/Free Press Conference brought together legal professionals and news media leaders to discuss the topic Local Media, the Law, and the Next Pandemic. The hypothetical topic provided  an opportunity to dive deep into the ethical issues surrounding media coverage of a public health crisis.

 On September 30, 2022, The Upstate New York Health Care Fraud Symposium included panel discussions about identifying, reporting, and combatting health care fraud and prescription drug diversion. The panels included Assistant United States Attorneys from the Northern District of New York in both the Criminal and Civil divisions, representatives from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, U.S. Department of Health and Human  Services’ Office of Inspector General, the Drug Enforcement Administration, private insurance plans, and leading lawyers who practice in these fields.
