SLAC Designees
SLAC members, lawyers and other persons assisting SLAC and employees thereof working on a matter related to the Lawyers Assistance Program authorized by ORS 9.568 are designees of SLAC. Designees are subject to SLAC rules, including the confidentiality requirements set forth in Article 19(f). Appointment of a designee who is not a SLAC member will be at the discretion of the chairperson. Considerations for appointment of such a designee include, but are not limited to, the designee's qualifications, the designee's previous experience with the referred person or with a situation similar to that of the referred person and the location of the referred person and designee. The chairperson will confirm the appointment of a designee. The chairperson will advise the designee of his or her authority and obligations and will include a copy of the SLAC's rules and other pertinent SLAC information. The designee will be notified of SLAC meetings while the referral is pending and must give regular progress reports to SLAC. Those reports may be given in person, in writing, by telephone or through the chairperson. The appointment of a designee will remain in effect until the case is concluded or SLAC otherwise provides.
