USCA is in the process of establishing the Justice Committee.   

The Justice Committee is a standing committee.  Its purpose is to adjudicate complaints that stem from violations of the USCA By-laws and the Association’s Rules and Procedures, including the Code of Ethics. 

The Justice Committee shall be comprised of five members; a member from each region and the chair, who may be from any region; the members serve for one year.

Chair of this committee is appointed by the Chairman of the Board.  The remaining committee members are selected and approved by the Board. The committee members are appointed each year at the Annual Meeting of the Association.

The committee members may be either Athlete or Coach Members of the Association.

The activity of this committee is described in the Association’s Rules and Procedures Ethics Guide.
