	New York State Ethics Commission
		The Commission issues advisory opinions interpreting the application of Public Officers Law sections 73, 73-a and 74, the statutes collectively often referred to as the "ethics law." These opinions are classified as either formal or informal.
		The opinions are binding on both the Commission and the individual requesting the opinion in any subsequent proceeding, providing that the requesting individual acted in good faith and neither omitted nor misstated any material facts in the case.
		Each formal opinion discusses the application of the law to the particular facts presented in the request and serves as precedent for the determination of future cases.

	Chapter 6: Advisory Opinions (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Advisory opinions are drawn up after the same kind of deliberations as precede judgments, and are divided in the same way into a summary of the proceedings, the Court's reasoning and the operative provisions.
		The advisory procedure before the Court entails the submission of written statements, as in other cases, but has certain special features which derive from the need to respect the interests of the staff member affected by the judgment, for the sake of justice.
		It remains nevertheless that the authority and prestige of the Court attach to its advisory opinions and that where the organ or agency concerned endorses that opinion, that decision is as it were sanctioned by international law.
