Volunteer Need / Commitment
The Grievance Committee meetings are held on the third Wednesday every month at 7:30 a.m. On average, members are assigned to investigate two to four ethics complaints each year. When an investigation is complete, the committee member presents his/her written report to the full committee. The report includes factual findings and analyses of the applicable Rules of Professional Conduct. The committee then votes on whether to recommend a finding of probable cause to the North Carolina State Bar (NCSB). All meetings, materials, and discussions are strictly confidential. Several seats on the committee are open to non-attorney members. Attorney members must have been licensed for at least five years.
