On February 24 and 25, 2006, the National State Attorneys General Program at Columbia Law School presented the "State Attorney General Oversight and Regulation of Charitable Organizations" symposium. This invitation-only conference provided an opportunity for frank discussions among state attorneys general, leading academics, and representatives of significant charities, foundations, non-governmental organizations, and private law firms. Thirty-nine Attorney General Offices were represented, fifteen by their Attorney General.
Discussion concerned three specific problems: authority and role of the Attorney General, governance and fiduciary duties, and divergent views on oversight mechanisms.
