Why MSPB matters. #
MSPB volume varies considerably with executive-branch workforce changes. AI use by federal-employee representatives is increasing, particularly for case-theory drafting and evidence summary.
Practice implications. #
In the absence of MSPB-specific guidance, representatives should default to ABA Op. 512 and applicable state-bar guidance. Verification duty is universal.
