Learn from top administrative law judges from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)\, the California Public Utility Commission (PUC)\, the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC)\, and the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission (UTC) on how to best navigate the unique aspects of this special type of litigation. Panelists will not only provide their best tips to advocate within the energy administrative law field but also where they see the legal discipline heading amid an ever changing landscape. \n\n\n\nThe panel includes: \n\n\n\n\nModerated by: Meghan H.
