Each year, the Board appoints volunteer Hearing Committee Members who review the recommended disposition of complaints as offered by the Office of Disciplinary Counsel, conduct disciplinary and reinstatement hearings, and prepare a written report and recommendation to the Board following proceedings.
Applicants are required to be a member in good standing of the PA bar, maintain an office for the practice of law within PA, be willing to participate in in-person disciplinary and reinstatement proceedings, and be fully-vaccinated against COVID-19. The Board ordinarily considers applicants with at least seven years of relevant experience for Hearing Committee Member positions.
The Disciplinary Board is committed to appointing diverse Hearing Committee Members, recognizing that diversity of experience, practice area, background, race, gender, and geography is beneficial to the disciplinary process.
