Ethics and Boundaries Assessment Services

Ethics and Boundaries Assessment Services (EBAS) provides essay-based ethics assessments for professional regulatory boards. This channel is home to Board Insights, a series of conversations with regulators, attorneys, and practitioners about the issues boards face in disciplinary and reinstatement cases.

EBAS measures how a licensee reasons through an ethical situation, not whether they can recall a rule. Each assessment uses realistic, constructed-response scenarios across five domains: fraud, boundaries, substance abuse, unprofessional conduct, and professional standards. Multiple graders with regulatory experience score every assessment against a structured rubric.
