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.
