WILMA B. LIEBMAN was designated chairman by President Obama on Jan. 20, 2009. She was first appointed to the NLRB by President Clinton in 1997 and is currently in her third term, which expires in August 2011.
“The agency is coming back to life after a long period of dormancy,” Liebman said in February, and after two years without a quorum is “tackling many of the diffcult cases that languished for years.”
New initiatives include inviting briefs from practitioners and the public on important cases and using the administrative rulemaking process to seek comments on potential rule changes.
Liebman is a past elected member of the Executive Board of the Industrial Relations Research Association and of the College of Labor and Employment Lawyers. She holds a B.A. from Barnard College and a J.D. from George Washington University Law Center.
At the invitation of Chairman Liebman, the ABA Journal of Labor & Employment Law, edited by University
of Minnesota Law School faculty and students, is publishing a special issue that she organized on
the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the NLRB.
The lecture is co-sponsored by the Law School and Fredrikson & Byron. It is free and open to the public.
