The Board on Professional Responsibility needs attorneys and non attorneys to serve on the Hearing Committees before whom disciplinary cases are tried. The Board seeks applicants with a broad range of professional experience and who represent the Bar’s diverse membership. Mature good judgment, the ability to master a factual record and learn the disciplinary case law, and the judicial temperament necessary to preside at hearings are essential; strong legal writing skills are also required of some Hearing Committee members, because all Hearing Committee decisions are by written report.
