The members of the Disciplinary and Adjustment board should be comprised of no ______________ members who

• A. at least 3; without direct personal interest
• B. more than 3; without direct personal interest
• C. less than 3; with direct personal interest
• D. less than 3; without direct personal interest

Answer: (D)

The key idea is impartiality and adequate participation on the board. You want at least three members so there’s a quorum and enough minds to discuss cases, and you want those members to have no direct personal interest to prevent conflicts of interest from swaying decisions. That’s why the best completion is that there are no less than three members who are without direct personal interest.

If fewer than three were required, the board could lack sufficient representation and fairness. If the rule allowed members with direct personal interest, conflicts could bias outcomes. And while having more than three might be fine in practice, the formal requirement focuses on a minimum, not a maximum.
