The BAO will monitor the fairness, effectiveness, and efficiency of the attorney regulation system and will propose substantive and procedural rules related to the system for consideration by the Court. The BAO also will assess the perceptions of the public and attorneys of the integrity of the lawyer regulation system, and will inform and educate the public and the bar about the operation of the system. The Court appointed members of the PRC in October. The PRC will review the results of investigations of attorney misconduct or medical incapacity and determine whether there is cause to proceed in the matters. Both the BAO and the PRC are composed of 12 people, including eight lawyers and four non-lawyers.
Members serve staggered three-year terms with a limit of two consecutive terms.
