We have also participated in staff training (including the preparation of training materials). In administrative matters, we have had “no substantial evidence” findings before state and federal administrative agencies. These cases have typically involved the drafting of verified responses to charges, preparing position statements and responses to questionnaires, and the attendance at Fact Finding Conferences (and related witness preparation).
