TAR encourages members to use "HELP DESK" for communicating with both the Legal & Ethics Hot Line Staff and TAR Staff.
The Help Desk's largest advantages are:
- Communication via email may result in faster responses
- All of your help requests received through the Help Desk are archived for your "personal review" at any time
- Documentation of Frequently Asked Questions, Manuals (e.g. TREC Official Manual, Code of Ethics, etc.), articles and many more resources are all now easily searchable. You may find the answer to the your questions quicker as a result.
Caveat: Any calls or e-mails handled through the Hot Line and Help Desk do not result in attorney-client relationship. The Hot Line is a source of legal and ethical information and no such attorney-client relationship is intended or implied.
