In this class, students will learn about the constitutional and statutory rights of the citizenry to know what their government is up to. The class will examine New Hampshire’s Right to Know statute, RSA 91-A, including what records are required to be disclosed and the exemptions. In recent years, cases decided by the NH Supreme Court have strengthened and expanded the ability of citizens to obtain records of governmental misconduct. The significance of those decisions and the ongoing legal battles to further transparency will be explored. This class is led by Katy Sullivan, an attorney at Malloy & Sullivan, LPC who has been representing employers and employees and briefing and arguing First Amendment Cases before the New Hampshire Supreme Court for more than 20 years.

This in-person class is at the Nackey S. Loeb School of Communications, inside the NH Institute of Politics building at Saint Anselm College. Driving and parking instructions will be sent to students in advance of classes. Pre-registration is required. Class size is limited.
