In this on-demand training, noted Douglas expert Robert Erbe shares the MSPB’s philosophy now that it has two members of the same political party.

Along with explanation of the Douglas factors analysis that must be conducted and common missteps that could lead to a penalty being overturned, you get guidance to:
- Conduct a proper Douglas factors analysis specific to each factor that applies
- Spot problematic penalty practices during the discipline process
- Recognize and remedy when an unnoticed aggravating factor could result in a due process violation
- Determine which mitigating factors cannot be ignored
- And more
