When it comes to disciplinary and adverse actions, recent case law shows that charge framing continues to present a challenge for practitioners. And the Biden administration will bring a new perspective to this perennially difficult issue. Get the most current guidance from the expert who literally wrote the book on charge writing.

Sam Vitaro is co-author of Charges and Penalties, A Charging Manual — the go-to resource for federal practitioners, as well as a former MSPB administrative judge and EEOC supervisory attorney. In this interactive webinar he'll share his extensive knowledge and practical strategies with you, showing you how to put together proper charges so they hold up on appeal.

Don't let poor wording be the reason you lose a case. Chart the best path for success in every case — and avoid costly mistakes — by learning how to:

• Connect the charge to the actual misconduct that occurred
• Provide proper notice to the employee
• Keep the charges concise
• Distinguish when it is and is not appropriate to use "intent-based" charges
• Consider alternative charges

Vitaro will also cover the importance of looking at initial decisions and how it can help provide a backdrop to the direction of the new administration.
