Government Law Institute 2026 took place October 1–2, 2026.

Government Law Institute 2026 was held at Minnesota CLE Conference Center in Minneapolis, MN.

The audience includes attorneys representing or dealing with counties, cities, and townships.

It is most useful for attorneys who advise or litigate against Minnesota counties, cities and townships, since over 25 sessions were scheduled to span public data handling, open meetings and employment questions, with the 2026 legislative and caselaw updates. Lawyers outside Minnesota or without a government-law practice would get less, but the $395 member price, need-based scholarships and a session carrying mental health credit lowered the barrier for those in the field.

Lawyers at CLE seminars in Minneapolis usually wear business casual or business professional, with conference rooms often cool so a jacket or cardigan helps.
