This forum had two purposes: to provide Salt Lake City mayoral candidates an opportunity to interact with University of Utah law students, faculty, staff, and alumni, and to raise money for the Lionel Frankel Public Interest Fellowship. Forum format included opening and closing statements, question and answer session and reception following candidate panel. It was organized by Rachel Otto, moderated by Richard Piatt of KSL Channel 5 and was considered by the media to be the first mayoral debate.
