Planners Gathering: The Planner in Court

  • Date: 05/27/2026 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM  
  • Introduction: Oakland County | Planning, Zoning and Land Use - Virtual PLANNERS GATHERING

Oakland County | Planning, Zoning and Land Use - Virtual PLANNERS GATHERING

Planners operate in a legal environment. Local, state and federal laws govern their actions as well as those of the boards and commissions they serve. Occasionally, those actions will be the subject of legal challenges by parties that do not agree with land use and zoning decisions. In those instances, planners may find themselves involved in subsequent litigation. Join us for a discussion of what planners should expect when they are involved in a legal challenge.

SPEAKERS

Jerry Fisher, Local Government Consulting Attorney and Author of “Local Government Law - A Practical Guidebook for Public Officials on City Councils, Community Boards, and Planning Commissions”
