The Commission on Ethics, in conjunction with the Legal Aid Society, began a pro bono volunteer advocate program in 2011 to prosecute ethics complaints in Palm Beach County. In 2021, the ordinances were amended and updated to allow for Advocates and Hearing officers to be paid a nominal fee. Advocates and Hearing Officers have significant courtroom experience in criminal law practice, both as state prosecutors and defense attorneys.
