Experienced land use practitioners, including Barbara Dykes (former Snohomish County Hearing Examiner and Chief Civil Deputy Prosecutor) and Peter Eglick (Eglick Kiker Whited), will discuss ethical issues in the Hearing Examiner system, including:

• Preserving independence and impartiality
• Defending the city, county, or agency "decision" if the decision changes between staff and hearing examiner decision
• Settling appeals without violating separation of powers or undermining quasi-judicial impartial decision-making
• Structuring the office and the process to minimize ethical pitfalls
