Discipline 2000 Task Force

A Discipline 2000 Task Force has been formed jointly between the WSBA and the Washington State Supreme Court to examine our discipline system. The Task Force will meet during the next year and make recommendations to the WSBA Board of Governors for improvements to the discipline system.

The Discipline 2000 Task Force held its first meeting in February. The next meeting is April 17, 2000 at noon at the WSBA office. The Task Force includes the following subcommittees: Role of the Disciplinary Board, Hearing Officer, Disability Procedures, Organization of the Rules and Miscellaneous/Confidentiality. All meetings of the Discipline 2000 Task Force and its subcommittees are open for observation by the public. Public comments on the matters being discussed by the Task Force and its subcommittees will be at the discretion of the meeting chairperson. Written or e-mail comments are welcome at any time. For more information, contact Randy Beitel, Senior Disciplinary Counsel at the WSBA, at 206-727-8257 or e-mail randyb@wsba.org.
