GRIEVANCES
If
at any time a member finds himself/herself aggrieved in any manner,
said member agrees and is required to bring this matter to the

alleged wrong-doing by the offending member or members. The Board
of Directors will accord said member his/her constitutional right
to be heard in accordance to the general guidelines of the United
States Administrative Procedures Act in one of either or both
manners.
(a)
Informal Written Hearing: Said aggrieved member must first utilize
the Association’s Grievance Form and submit that form to the Grievance
Committee. The Grievance Committee will investigate the issue
and then report its findings to the aggrieved member and the Board
of Directors. The Grievance Committee will immediately thereafter
render a decision and a course of action to be undertaken. There
is no cost to the disputing parties for this adjudication, and
the final decision is binding on both parties.
(b)
Administrative Mediation: If either party is dissatisfied with
the judgment of the Grievance Committee, either party must then
request Administrative Mediation. There is no cost to the disputing
parties for this association service. The Mediator for this process
is the Chairman of the Grievance Committee. In this process, both
disputing parties must meet at a place designated by the Mediator
and both disputing parties must be present at this mediation.
Both parties must negotiate in good faith and must attempt to
reach an equitable solution. Failure to attend the mediation or
negotiate in good faith will result in a default judgment rendered
on behalf of the attending party or cooperative party. If the
parties cannot reach a mutually acceptable resolution after a
sincere effort (as acknowledged by the Mediator) then the parties
can seek their remedies in a Formal Administrative Hearing.
(b) Formal Administrative Hearing: If a formal administrative
hearing is conducted, it shall be conducted at a place and time
so directed by the Grievance Committee. However, all parties must
agree to the following conditions:
(9)
Prior to commencement of the pre-hearing procedures, which
begin upon the service upon both parties of the hearing date,
the Plaintiff may withdraw the request for a hearing and receive
the entire amount of the deposit.
a.
90 days prior to the hearing, both opposing parties will
serve upon each other any requests for evidence in the possession
and control of the other. If a cost is involved producing
this evidence, it will be paid for by the requesting party.
b.
60 days prior to the hearing, the requested items are to
be delivered to the requesting party. Failure to do so will
result in sanctions to the offending party unless good cause
is established for the delay. However, any such delay will
result in the advancement of the hearing date.
c.
30 days prior to the hearing, both parties will serve upon
each other a list of the items or documents they will introduce
at the hearing and a list of all witnesses that will be
called to testify. Both parties will notify the Grievance
Committee Chairman as to how much time their presentation
will last. No witnesses or evidence will introduced at the
hearing that has not been previously disclosed.
(14)
The Hearing Officer will render a final and binding decision,
in writing, 30 days after the Hearing Officer receives the
Reply Briefs and will so inform the parties through the Grievance
Committee Chairman.
(15)
Either party may represent themselves, be represented by a
representative or an attorney or use any combination of personal
presentation and representation in the presentation of their
case. However, only one person per side will be allowed to
speak during the presentation of their case.
(16)
All parties may obtain a written transcript of the administrative
proceedings, but each must pay for a copy of such a transcript.
However, any party may obtain an audio cassette tape of the
proceedings at no charge.
(17)
The decision of the Hearing Officer, once issued, is binding
on all parties at the time of issuance. And there is no limitation
upon the Hearing Officer with respect to the amount to be
awarded the prevailing party with respect to that final judgment.
(19)
If the losing party is dissatisfied with the result of the
administrative hearing, said party has the option to appeal
that decision to the Board of Directors. However, said appeal
must be filed within 30 days of an adverse Hearing Officer’s
decision. If said appeal is not filed within the above prescribed
30 days, the losing party herein forfeits the right to such
an appeal.
a.
The Administrative Appeal will be conducted in writing.
The Appealing Party will submit 3 legal briefs consisting
of any number 8 ½ by 11 pages, with one inch margins, double
spaced and with type face not exceeding or less than 14
points. All exhibits will be attached and consecutively
numbered or lettered. The brief should be contained in a
three ring red binder. These briefs should be delivered
to the Grievance Committee Chairman within 45 days of the
filing for the appeal. This brief will be referred to as
the Appellant’s Brief.
b.
The Responding Party will have 45 days from the receipt
of the Appellant’s Brief to submit 3 legal briefs consisting
of any number 8 ½ by 11 pages, with one inch margins, double
spaced and with type face not exceeding or less than 14
points to the Grievance Committee Chairman. All exhibits
will be attached and consecutively numbered or lettered.
The brief should be contained in a three ring blue
binder. This brief will be referred to as the Respondent’s
Brief.
c.
Both the Plaintiff and Defendant will select an Appeals
Judge from a list provided by the International Legal Aid
Society. The Appeals Judges will review both briefs and
render a decision in writing to be delivered to the Grievance
Committee Chairman within 60 days of the receipt of the
briefs. However, for the decision to be binding, it must
be unanimous. If unanimity cannot be obtained, the Grievance
Committee will select a third Appeals Judge from the International
Legal Aid Society. Both briefs will be provided to this
third Appeals Judge and after 30 days the final decision
will be determined by majority vote of the Appeals Judges.
(24)
If either party is still not satisfied with the judgment,
this judgment may be appealed for review by Arbitration. It
is agreed that the arbitration company that must be used for
this purpose is known as JAMS. However, if for any reason
JAMS is no longer in business, the parties must agree to submit
this action to any arbitration company that operates under
the auspices of the American Arbitration Association if an
additional appeal is desired.
(25)
Failure to follow the grievance procedure will subject the
offending party to action by the Grievance Committee, and
the offending party herein agrees to pay any costs incurred
by the association related to the action of the offending
party, to include but not limited to all related fees, court
costs, transcript fees, and Attorney fees. There disciplinary
action against the offending party will be the responsibility
of the Grievance Committee and may take whatever form the
Grievance Committee determines to be just and proper.
