7.20 Challenges to Hearing Committee Members
The identity of the Hearing Committee members shall
be included in the notice of the hearing provided to respondent and Bar
Counsel. Any challenges to the members of the Hearing Committee must be
made by affidavit alleging a personal bias or prejudice on the part of
the Hearing Committee member against the party submitting the affidavit.
The affidavit must state facts and reasons upon which the allegations
of bias or prejudice are based and must be accompanied by a certificate
executed by the party submitting the affidavit, or counsel for such party,
stating that the challenge is made in good faith. The affidavit must be
submitted to the Board Office at least seven days prior to the date set
for the hearing or the challenge shall be deemed waived. A Hearing Committee
member appointed pro hac vice within seven days of the hearing to replace
a previously named member may be challenged without regard to the seven
day notice ordinarily required.
