100: Lessons from a Local Government Law Career

We have a quorum! In this special 100th episode, we celebrate a major milestone by hosting a special live recording from Ancel Glink's Chicago headquarters. Our featured guest is our esteemed friend and colleague, Julie Tappendorf, who joins us on the eve of her retirement to reflect on her distinguished career in local government law. Julie is a prolific writer and counselor helping local governments across Illinois with land use, social media, legal compliance, and more. In this career retrospective, Julie shares the professional lessons she learned along her journey—from her early days in military intelligence to becoming a leading local government lawyer. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Episode Highlights • From Cryptology to Codes: Julie reflects on her eight years as a Korean cryptologic-linguist in the U.S. Army and how the discipline of military intelligence prepared her for legal practice. • The Land Use Landscape: We review the evolution of development and annexation agreements. Julie explains how these contracts reduce adversarial friction and why formal agreements are critical for risk management. • Municipal Minute: Julie shares the origin story of her award-winning blog, Municipal Minute, which has registered over 3.3 million visits. She discusses her foresight in identifying social media as a legal issue for local governments as early as 2011. • Social Media After Lindke: What the Supreme Court's ruling in Lindke v. Freed means for local officials. Julie provides essential advice on maintaining separate personal and official accounts and navigating the "actual authority" test. • The Future of the Field: A candid discussion on the next "tweeting into trouble" moment—Artificial Intelligence. Julie warns about the risks of AI "hallucinations" and the importance of verifying legal output. • Public Comment Segment: Ancel Glink attorneys share the most impactful lessons they have learned from Julie over the years, ranging from effective meeting procedures to the "gold standard" of responsiveness. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contact Us How has the Municipal Minute blog or the Quorum Forum podcast helped your organization?
