Office of the General Counsel

University of Massachusetts > Office of the General Counsel > In-house Training

We will plan occasional in-house seminars for University employees on legal issues, choosing topics which present continuing issues for the campuses.  These seminars allow all of us to interact in an informal and collaborative setting to work on common legal problems. 

We also issue General Counsel's Office memoranda which address legal issues of general interest to our campuses. 

If your campus has an issue that you believe should be addressed in a system-wide memorandum or a mini-seminar on campus rather than in a memo or opinion letter, let the General Counsel know.  From time to time, it may be productive to have one or two attorneys spend an hour or two talking to campus administrators on a general topic rather than addressing a specific problem.  The GCO can also recommend other firms, or state agencies, which could provide training on specific questions, for example, the ethics statute or search and seizure issues for campus police.
