LIMA - Legal Issues in Museum Administration
Each spring since 1973, OGC co-sponsors a three-day course with the American Law Institute – Continuing Legal Education (ALI-CLE). The course is attended by museum administrators, trustees, and attorneys.
The Office of General Counsel invites you to attend the fifty-second annual Legal Issues in Museum Administration conference, to be offered both in-person in Cleveland, OH and virtually as a live webcast from May 1-3, 2024.

What You Will Learn
This year’s Legal Issues in Museum Administration 2024 conference will focus on how museums can best manage risks and identify opportunities in a rapidly changing landscape. We will explore opportunities and challenges involved in new technology like Artificial Intelligence, consider the impacts of climate deterioration and sustainability initiatives, and wrestle with changing donor expectations. As always, we will provide timely updates on ever-present legal issues, from key litigation to assessing developments in copyright and trademark, tax, and employment law. The steering committee is working on this year’s agenda.
