The Justice Commission consists of three highly experienced, competent lawyers. The board is independent, not bound by instruction and is not accountable to anyone for its decisions.

It shall be the duty of the Justice Commission to act as the sole decider of the matters brought before it, as if the members presiding over a case were judges in a civil proceeding.

The Justice Commission’s decision can be adopted in a formal hearing, by correspondence, by telephone or by video conference. The chairman shall decide the modality to be used. The Justice Commission must convene for a formal hearing, if the chairman so decides, or if the accused party requests a formal hearing.
