An Outline Of Law And Procedure In Representation Cases

This particular edition is unique because it is the first to be published since the Two Member Board era. Many of the Two Member cases were reconsidered by a three Member panel after the New Process Steel decision and those cases are discussed and referenced in this volume with a citation to the three Member decision. Two Member decisions that have not been reconsidered are also included in this text and are noted as being just that-Two Member decisions. While these Two Member decisions are of little if, any, precedential value, we have nonetheless cited them in this text in order to give the reader a fuller understanding of the development of representation case law.

This book represents an updated edition of "An Outline of Law and Procedure in Representation Cases." This book was originally issued in the early 1960s and was the work of then Assistant General Counsel Elihu Platt. It was not revised until 1992 when John Higgins volunteered to update the text. Since then, he has revised and updated the text in 1995, 1997, 1999, 2002, and again in 2005. In this new edition, Deputy General Counsel Higgins has brought the text through December 2007, has added a number of new topics, and has updated the subject matter index.

An Outline of Law and Procedure in Representation Cases, 2005 provides a valuable resource for enhancing the quality and timeliness of representation case processing.
