Description
Celebrating its 50th anniversary, this year's Legal Issues in Museum Administration conference will both reflect on how museum lawyering has evolved and look to its future. Featured sessions include instruction on this year’s most important legal issues, including:
• Surprise! Managing Unexpected Bequests
- Considerations in accepting or declining unexpected testamentary gifts
- Navigating estate and trust distributions
- Working with trustees, executors, and a decedent’s family
• Get Smart! Educating the PreK-12 Set
- Educators have long recognized the value of a museum field trip for its potential to spark student engagement and active search for knowledge. So as the pandemic interrupted this tradition, virtual PREK-12 museum programming has been in demand, bringing the museum into classrooms and homes in new and different ways. This panel will cover practical approaches to common legal issues kindled by children interacting with your museum online and in person, like mandatory reporting, regulations including child or student privacy, and other barriers to growing your child-focused programs.
