Ethics Advocate Program
|
|
Any party may be represented by legal counsel, by a REALTOR® (or both) at any ethics hearing, including reviews, even where the
hearing will occur in the party’s absence. PWR has an Ethics Advocate Program in place, a sub-committee of the Professional
Standards Committee, comprised of REALTORS® who are specially trained to represent parties during the disciplinary process.

Role of the Ethics Advocate
|
|
The role of legal counsel or EA may include preparation for hearing, including the preparation of forms and assembly of evidence.
Representation at the hearing, including the making of opening and closing statements of behalf of the party represented at the
hearing, examining and cross examining witnesses, and introducing affidavits, documents and other relevant evidence, and
representation at any rehearing or review hearing, but does not include testifying as a witness. Even though the EA performs a
role similar to legal counsel, the EA is not an attorney and is not allowed to practice law.
