On May 26, 2026, Jeff Stier conducted a Lunch‑and‑Learn focused on regulatory law for a cohort of New York State Supreme Court judicial interns at the Manhattan Supreme Court. The session formed part of a series of educational meetings organized for the summer 2026 internship program, which pairs aspiring legal professionals with experienced attorneys.
Stier, an attorney with a background in regulatory matters, addressed the interns during the midday gathering, providing an overview of the field and outlining the core responsibilities that legal practitioners encounter when working with government regulations. He described how regulatory law influences a wide range of activities, from compliance reviews to enforcement actions, and highlighted the procedural steps that attorneys follow in representing clients before administrative agencies.
The presentation was designed to give the interns a clearer picture of the daily duties and expectations of lawyers who specialize in this area. By outlining typical case workflows, research methods, and the importance of staying current with evolving statutes, Stier aimed to equip the interns with a practical understanding that complements their academic training.
Interns, who are currently serving at the New York State Supreme Court in Manhattan, attended the session as part of their broader summer curriculum. The program has included multiple similar events, each intended to broaden the participants’ exposure to different legal specialties. Organizers noted that the Lunch‑and‑Learn format allows for informal interaction, enabling interns to ask questions and engage directly with practicing attorneys.
The May 26 session concluded with a brief Q&A period, during which interns sought clarification on topics such as the role of regulatory agencies and the process of drafting compliance recommendations. The event underscored the internship’s commitment to providing hands‑on learning experiences that prepare future judges and lawyers for the complexities of the legal system.
