If yes, do you undertake a law firm-wide conflicts check to verify that neither you nor your law firm has any actual or potentially adverse conflict of interest to the complainant and/or respondent? Yes No If yes, please briefly describe the methods used to verify the absence of conflicts If yes, do you retain records of your search 3. Have you ever communicated with a third party regarding an ongoing URS dispute in which you were a panelist? If yes, please briefly explain the nature of such communications. To Providers: 1. Do you assign URS disputes to panelists on a random basis (y/n) 2. If no please briefly describe the process undertaken to select panelists in any given URS dispute 2. Do you take steps to ensure against bias or conflict of interest when selecting a panelist for any URS disputes (y.n) 3.
