Hosted by the Local Government Legal Center (LGLC), join legal experts in a discussion of the Supreme Court’s important decisions of the term impacting local governments. The Supreme Court heard several monumental cases this term, including cases related to:
- Local government tax foreclosure and the amount of equity that is due back to a homeowner after a tax sale;
- Election law and redistricting issues;
- Law enforcement issues including qualified immunity and geofence warrants;
- Birthright citizenship; and
- The Second Amendment
The LGLC is a coalition of national local government organizations formed in 2023 by the National Association of Counties (NACo), National League of Cities (NLC) and International Municipal Lawyers Association (IMLA) to provide education to local governments regarding the Supreme Court and its impact on local governments and local officials and to advocate for local government positions at the Supreme Court in appropriate cases. Visit the Local Government Legal Center to learn more.

The most damaging breaches in county government rarely begin with a sophisticated exploit. They begin with a person — someone who is stressed, overloaded, or afraid to raise a hand. For counties defending elections, courts, emergency services, and water systems, with lean teams and tight budgets, the way leaders build culture and trust is one of the highest-leverage security controls they own.
This panel brings county leaders together to explore how psychological safety, authentic leadership, and a culture of belief — not box-checking — drive real cyber resilience. Panelists will share candid, on-the-ground perspectives on moving from performative compliance to operational commitment, treating people as the strongest control rather than the weakest link, and using AI to sharpen human judgment rather than replace it.
Key takeaways:
- Psychological safety is a security control: teams that feel safe report incidents faster, conceal less, and recover more quickly from mistakes.
- Resilience is built on commitment and belief, not checkbox compliance — and elected and appointed leaders set that tone from the top.
- AI is a tool to enhance human judgment, not replace it; counties succeed by pairing a strong culture with practical guardrails.
