We assume that little happens in Washington without legal review. But do you know how executive branch lawyers help develop, approve and implement policy at the highest levels? From secret negotiations with foreign governments to devising security protocols to developing regulations that protect consumers, how do the government’s top lawyers ensure that policies and actions are appropriate and legally defensible? How do they anticipate and plan for legal challenges to controversial policies? Join the IOP as we welcome Steve Bunnell, former General Counsel of the US Department of Homeland Security, David R. Hill, former General Counsel of the US Department of Energy, and Harold Hongju Koh, former Legal Adviser of the Department of State for a lawyer’s view of governing in Washington. The conversation will be moderated by Robert S. Rivkin, former General Counsel of the US Department of Transportation.
