“No review was or will be conducted.”
“All board members are members of the corporation (the student body). In order to prevent a conflict of interest from occurring, the organization's bylaws state that, "any voting director who ceases to be a member of the corporation shall cease being a member of the organization".”
“The annual process carolina student legal services, inc. Follows to determine salary levels is multi-faceted. First, the staff prepares a packet of information for our independent board of directors. The packet contains comparability compensation data for similarly qualified persons in commensurate positions. As a nonprofit organization, we find the most comparable positions at similarly situated organizations are found primarily within government posts. This year, we compared the salaries of our director and two other attorneys with those of the nc public defenders, district attorneys, the nc assistant attorney general, and the nc attorney general, evaluating their salaries in light of comparable length of employment. We also regularly look at the salaries of peer attorneys whose work is closely linked with and/or supported by a university.staff asks our board of directors to review the packet, and then give staff various salary figures they would like to see projected.staff later presents the projections to the board of directors for their evaluation and for the determination of our compensation for the following year. All staff members are completely screened from the deliberation process, so as to eliminate all possibility that a conflift of interest may influence the meeting. The entire process, including the presentation of our research packet, the deliberation process, and the board's final decision, is documented contemporaneously, with minutes from all meetings available for public review upon request.”
“A copy of the 990 is kept in the carolina student legal services, inc. Offices, and is available for inspection if requested.”
“Copies of governing documents, financial statements, and conflict of interest policies are kept in the carolina student legal services, inc. Office and are available upon request for inspection.”
“The Board of Directors is included in decisions and updates about hiring accountants for compilations, tax preparation, and similar matters.”
“Legal filing fees are held in trust and paid by an attorney as needed.”

FIRST, THE STAFF PREPARES A PACKET OF INFORMATION FOR OUR INDEPENDENT BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

THIS YEAR, WE COMPARED THE SALARIES OF OUR DIRECTOR AND TWO OTHER ATTORNEYS WITH THOSE OF THE NC PUBLIC DEFENDERS, DISTRICT ATTORNEYS, THE NC ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL, AND THE NC ATTORNEY GENERAL, EVALUATING THEIR SALARIES IN LIGHT OF COMPARABLE LENGTH OF EMPLOYMENT. WE ALSO REGULARLY LOOK AT THE SALARIES OF PEER ATTORNEYS WHOSE WORK IS CLOSELY LINKED WITH AND/OR SUPPORTED BY A UNIVERSITY.STAFF ASKS OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO REVIEW THE PACKET, AND THEN GIVE STAFF VARIOUS SALARY FIGURES THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE PROJECTED.STAFF LATER PRESENTS THE PROJECTIONS TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR THEIR EVALUATION AND FOR THE DETERMINATION OF OUR COMPENSATION FOR THE FOLLOWING YEAR. ALL STAFF MEMBERS ARE COMPLETELY SCREENED FROM THE DELIBERATION PROCESS, SO AS TO ELIMINATE ALL POSSIBILITY THAT A CONFLIFT OF INTEREST MAY INFLUENCE THE MEETING. THE ENTIRE PROCESS, INCLUDING THE PRESENTATION OF OUR RESEARCH PACKET, THE DELIBERATION PROCESS, AND THE BOARD'S FINAL DECISION, IS DOCUMENTED CONTEMPORANEOUSLY, WITH MINUTES FROM ALL MEETINGS AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC REVIEW UPON REQUEST. |
