(a) Except for contingent dismissals, all agreements
between or among parties that are reached as a result of Alternative
Dispute Resolution must be committed to writing, signed by the respondent
or applicant and a Board staff attorney and submitted to the Board
for approval. Once signed by the Board, the agreement will have the
same force and effect as a written contract.
(b) If the Board does not approve a proposed settlement,
the respondent or applicant will be so informed and the matter will
be referred to the Director of Standards and Enforcement to pursue
appropriate action.
