Best in Law Blogs : The LexBlog Network : May 15, 2012

The big news of the week comes as the NLRB’s rules on “quickie” or “ambush” union elections were struck down because of a lack of quorum. Lee Beck and Brennan Bolt each do a good job of explaining it. Also, on LXBN, we have an LXBN TV with Victoria Pynchon providing excellent advice to young female lawyers and an LXBN Roundtable breaking down MySpace’s settlement with the FTC.
