After the Hearing/Ethics Complaint
After the Hearing

  • You will receive a "Recommendations of Hearing Panel" and "Findings of Fact", the conclusions of the panel members based on the evidence and testimony presented during the hearing. Findings of fact may not be appealed
  • If you feel that the hearing process did not afford you a full and fair hearing, there are appellate procedures available. The finding of no violation is not a basis for appeal.
  • The Association will send you information regarding the bases and time limits for appealing decisions or requesting a rehearing.
  • Petitions for rehearing’s must be based solely on newly discovered evidence that a party could not, with reasonable diligence, have discovered or presented at the hearing.
  • Requests for review brought by ethics respondents must be based on (1) misapplication or misinterpretation of one or more Articles of the Code of Ethics or membership duties (2) procedural deficiency or failure of due process and (3) unwarranted discipline by the hearing panel. Ethics complainants may only appeal based on procedural deficiencies or failures of due process.
