Is Alleged Violator a Current NALSC Member?:
In the space below, please detail the specific facts and allegations supporting your complaint as well as the specific Code provisions you believe, in good faith, were violated. Please redact any confidential information that is not relevant or necessary for a proper review of your complaint.

In connection therewith, you agree, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that neither you, nor your firm, nor any other individual or entity operating on your behalf, will sue, bring a claim, or file a charge, complaint, grievance, or demand for arbitration against NALSC or any NALSC Representative in any forum or assist or otherwise participate willingly or voluntarily in any lawsuit, claim, arbitration, action, or other proceeding of any kind that relates in any way to NALSC's review, investigation or adjudication of the Ethics Complaint. To the extent any such action may be brought by a third party, you expressly waive any claim to any form of monetary or other damages, or any other form of recovery or relief (including reasonable attorney fees and expenses), from NALSC or any NALSC Representative in connection with any such action.
