Government Procurement Shines at ABA Meeting

Christopher R. Yukins, Lynn David Research Professor in Government Procurement Law and Co-Director of the Government Procurement Law Program, moderated a panel in front of the Section of Public Contract Law’s Council about necessary changes to the ABA’s Model Procurement Code for state and local governments. The discussion was based on research by Professor Yukins’ students, who presented their findings in front of the leadership and 150 members of the bar. The students’ work can have a positive real-world impact by helping states to revise their procurement laws in ways that should reduce corruption and increase efficiency.
