The policy requires disclosure of actual or potential conflicts of interest and all material facts to the ALI President or Chair of Council or the President of the ALI-ABA Board of Directors, as applicable, prior to participating in discussion, consideration, or action on a transaction or arrangement under consideration. If there is a question as to whether a conflict of interest exists, the question is resolved by a vote of the Council or Executive Committee or the ALI-ABA Board of Directors, as applicable, in which the interested individual may not vote.

Any conflict-of-interest disclosures in the completed questionnaires are reviewed by the Audit Committee. If the Audit Committee determines that an actual or potential conflict of interest exists, it recommends an appropriate remedy to the President or Chair of Council or the President of the ALI-ABA Board of Directors, as applicable.
