Ethical Obligations and Considerations: Working with the Public Service Commission, Dec. 5

From the introduction to the workshop hosted by the Wisconsin Public Utility Institute:

Over the past 10 years, the energy industry has become far more complex. There are more stakeholders interested in and actively participating in what happens at the regulatory level. New issues such as GHG are now more urgent concerns for commissions. This seminar will address the past and future for commissions, ethical rules and protocols, and perspectives on how to prepare a persuasive case before a commission. . . .

Topics:
+ What might the PSC of the future look like, structurally and/or procedurally?
+ What issues might trigger the need for the change in agency structure or procedures?
+ How do you decide what agency structure best suits Wisconsin's situation?
+ What are the options in use by other commissions?
+ Procedural Process Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) options and possible commission uses
+ Use of ALJ Staff as mediators outside mediators
+ How to comply with ethical challenges inherent in representations before administrative agencies while effectively representing your client
