  This is a virtual event to be held via Zoom on Thursday, April 9 from 9:00AM-10:00AM. 

  Also save the date for our future Listserv LIVE discussions on June 10 and September 10 at 9:00 am.  

  What is Listserv LIVE:

  • This is an open forum for MMLA members to discuss any municipal law issues or questions
  • Bring questions you may be stumped on or that you would normally post to the listserv.  This is an opportunity to discuss with colleagues and get/give live input.
  • If you don’t have a question, bring a story or a topic that you recently learned about that you think other municipal lawyers may appreciate.

  Members can register for the event at the link below. Registration is encouraged for planning but not required.  A Zoom link will also be emailed out the morning of the event so even if you do not register you can drop in last minute for however long you are able!  If you would like to submit a question ahead of time/anonymously you may do so here: https://forms.gle/DfgMfUgkNcngrxpE6

  Brought to you by the MMLA Member Outreach Committee.

  Our April monthly lunch and learn webinar will be held on Wednesday, April 15th at noon. This months topic will be Environmental Law Updates. We will hear from Greg McGregor of McGregor Law Group PC on key developments in environmental, land use, real estate, energy, and climate law affecting municipalities.

  If you have particular questions that you want Greg to address, please send them to Jim Lampke at james.lampke@lampkelaw.com and he will pass them along.

  Please note that this webinar will also serve as an MMLA meeting. The first reading of proposed Bylaw amendments will take place at the beginning of the meeting, prior to the environmental law update. The vote on the proposed amendments will take place at the MMLA Annual Business Meeting later this spring.

• MCLE 24th Annual Municipal Law Conference (co-sponsored by MMLA)

  • When
    13 May 2026
  • Location
    In-Person (MCLE, 10 Winter Place, Boston, MA) and Virtual

  Lawyers who represent and advise our cities, towns, or other public sector clients encounter complex, multi-disciplinary questions daily, ranging from A (affirmative litigation) to Z (zoning). The breadth and depth of legal competence required of the public sector attorney can be staggering. Similarly, attorneys who represent private clients in their dealings with local government are working in an ever-changing legal framework and are challenged to keep abreast of the rapidly evolving legal landscape. Get the latest essential updates and developments from the legislature, government regulators, and courts. The accelerating rate of change in municipal law makes this Conference indispensable to those who work in and with the public sector. Learn how your counterparts across the Commonwealth are navigating the latest legal challenges in the municipal arena!

  Agenda, faculty, and registration information coming soon on the MCLE website.
