The Grievance and Ethics Committee meets four times a year and its individual members are called upon by the Chairman to handle specific investigations requested by the State Disciplinary Office. The Committee also informally handles complaints brought to it by the public through the Bar Association Office or officers. The Committee responsibilities include attorney up-dates through our lunch meetings and Barletter as reminders to adhere to the ethics of the profession. The Committee is also in charge of keeping up-to-date and publishing the Creed and Tenets of Professional Conduct of the Association.

The Fee Disputes Committee is one of the most important "interface" committees with the community. The Fee Disputes Committee receives complaints from clients and initially tries informally to respond to questions about fees and to work with attorneys for resolution. If resolution cannot be obtained informally, there is a hearing procedure where the Fee Disputes Committee will hear complaints and review results of their investigation of the case. The process is non-binding and confidential.

The committee works with the Federal District Court in conducting naturalization ceremonies for new citizens.

The Program Committee is responsible for planning programs for our noon luncheon meetings that are in the months of September through June.

The Diversity Committee seeks to increase diversity awareness among members of the Johnson County Bar Association.
