Dear College Administrator:

Dear College Administrator:

You are among the first College Administrators to be offered a unique and valuable information resource. Robert's Rules of Order in the Courts is a 112 page compilation of U.S. legal cases involving Robert's Rules of Order. The cases show how Robert's Rules in their organizational business meetings.

Many college administrators have a legal responsibility to ensure that official public and private meetings are conducted according to a parliamentary authority so that decisions made in such meetings will not be subject to procedure-based lawsuits from those who may not agree with what was decided. Since some members of governing boards are not fully familiar with the procedures in Robert's Rules of Order, this information resource will be a valuable aid for anyone seeking to upgrade his or her skills and knowledge of Parliamentary Procedure.

The cases are categorized in terms of what they are generally about in relation to Robert's Rules. For example, many cases involve voting procedures so these cases are group under "voting." Each case is summarized so the researcher can see immediately what is all about. Some of the key issues covered in the legal cases are: Elections, ballots, bylaws, minutes, quorum, voting, and various motions such as main motion, amendment, privileged, reconsideration and tabling a motion just to mention a few. There is a handy index at the end so the reader can find topics located throughout the cases. We will offer an updated annually so the information resource will never go out of date.

Included in this resource is the best selling video Parliamentary Procedure Made Simple: the Basics. We have sold over 5000 copies of this video to lawyers, libraries, schools, municipalities, organizations and individuals in about two and half years. The video shows and tells how to follow Robert's Rules of Order. It is designed as a training tool for new members of organizations who may not know as much about Robert's Rules as they would like. The video shows and tells how to follow Robert's Rules of Order. It is designed as training tool for new members of organizations who may not know as much about Robert's Rules as they would like. The video is divided up into short lessons of about 5 minutes each covering such topics as quorum, previous question, lay on the table, voting, minutes, and many more. There is a 20 minute simulated business meeting at the end of the video to illustrate the main concepts of Robert's Rules that were brought up in the video. It also comes with a handy instructional booklet which has a time coded table of contents. This makes it easy to find particular topics on the video. And the booklet includes the most often used parts of Robert's Rules such as main motion, subsidiary motions, ranking of motions, what to include in the minutes, how to preside, duties of a secretary, and other central issues.

But that's not all. We include the classic 800 page reference book Robert's Rules of Order (1990 ed). The information resource package also has a useful motions guide from the National Association of Parliamentarians which shows at a glance the various motions one can make, the ranking of motions, and the vote required for each. You also get a 6 page booklet written by a registered Parliamentarian titled "Meeting Procedure Fundamentals." And, on top of all that, you get a free report titled "How to Make Your Meetings Run More Smoothly." It's a complete information package which allows the user to see how to follow Robert' Rules of Order and shows him the legal precedents so that he and his organization can stay out of legal trouble by following the proper procedures.

Here is what Greenville, NC, Attorney Gary Gilliland says about this information resource: "Attorneys whose practice has not yet brought them into contact with this body of case law will benefit by getting both an overview of parliamentary disputes and citations which can be used in researching the current state of the law on the facts of a particular question."

This entire information resource comes in a 3-ring binder where the law cases and the video are together for convenient use. This package includes the classic reference book Robert's Rules of Order (1990 ed.). It is priced at a very reasonable $149.95 including S & H.

If you want to preview it for 30 days, send $20 to cover shipping and handling. If you decide to keep this resource, the $20 will be credited to your account so you will only pay $129.95.

We also offer the classic reference book Robert's Rules of Order (paper) for $20 inc. S & H. Hardback copy of Robert's Rules of Order is $35 inc S & H.

Or we can sell you the 80 minute video Parliamentary Procedure Made Simple: the Basics alone for $69.50 inc. S & H.

Book and video together $ 84.50 inc. S & H ($99.50 inc S & H if hardback copy.)

The research that went into this information resource would cost many times that amount to duplicate. We also have a money back guarantee. Inspect this information resource for 30 days free. If it does not meet your needs, just return it for a refund. We accept checks, money orders, purchase orders, and VISA/MC. To order you can:
