As you say you have dealt with them before, I am sure you are aware of this, but being a public sector lawyer myself (not in the US, but these things are the same the world over), let me remind you that they will be expected to be picky about which legislation the are on top on. So it's always a good idea to be on top of things yourself...as you appear to be.

Yeah, you are absolutely right, especially when interests diverge. That is why it's nice when they can/will cite relevant statutes so you have a starting point instead of doing everything from scratch. As you well know, rarely are applicable laws all congregated in one place and it isn't always obvious how something not obviously related may apply.
