The Case Part 2: The Relationship Between Parliamentary Procedure and Governing Statutes
Presenter: Roger Hanshaw JD
Parliamentarians are expected to refrain from providing legal advice to clients. However, procedural guidance is frequently shaped and influenced by applicable statutory requirements. Understanding the relationship between parliamentary procedure and governing statutes is essential to delivering accurate and responsible professional advice. This session moves beyond the general responsibilities of the professional parliamentarian and focuses on developing the skills necessary to properly identify, interpret, and implement procedural rules.
Learning Objectives:
• Locate and implement procedural statutes that may affect parliamentary work.
• Identify pitfalls to avoid when applying statutes.
• Identify the statutory implications in an assigned case study.
