Overview

California's economy and political structure are heavily interconnected with domestic and international governmental, business and commercial operations. Understanding of the structure and organization of California's State and Local Governments helps practitioners assist their clients in entering into and operating within the diverse and ever expanding California markets. 

This program, taught by William Smelko, a practitioner with over thirty-five years of experience, is designed to provide a primer on the myriad Agency, Commission, County, City and Local Governments in California, all of which exert tremendous regulatory and commercial influence over public and private commercial enterprises. The course will focus on: (i) describing the structure of California's political and judicial systems; (ii) examining the nuances of local and agency activity which directly impacts those doing business in California; and (iii) providing participants with a working knowledge of how California State and Local Governments work in a 21st Century world.
