Brief English Introduction
This reading separates two questions that are often conflated: how representative acts work, and how the representative is selected. It argues that representative conduct should be understood through agency rules, while the “legal representative” label should be analyzed through both its statutory and representative elements.
Use It For
Use it to help students read the cases as disputes over authority and attribution, not only over registration.
Teaching Notes
Ask students whether registration creates authority, evidences authority, or merely publicizes authority already created internally.
