As original chairman of the NCJD’s law committee, Berke was tasked with creating the new organization’s constitution and by-laws between the 1956 and 1958 conventions. Most of this series is related to the drafting of the NCJD constitution and by-laws, such as draft copies of the NCJD constitution, both typed and handwritten, and lists of potential changes. Also included is Berke’s correspondence with Morton Rosenfield, Alexander Fleischman, Philip Hanover, and others on the subject of the constitution, and some material related to Berke’s work planning the NCJD’s biennial convention in 1962.
